- AND - A WORKER (REPRESENTED BY COMMUNICATION WORKERS UNION) DIVISION : Chairman: Mr Geraghty Employer Member: Mr Murphy Worker Member: Mr Hall |
1. An appeal of an Adjudication Officer's Recommendation No. ADJ-000013177.
BACKGROUND:
2. This case is an appeal of an Adjudication Officer’s Recommendation by the Worker. On the 21st March 2019 the Adjudication Officer issued the following Recommendation:-
- “I find no evidence of bias or unfair treatment of the Worker by the Respondent and its HR Manager. I recommend that a formal outcome be prepared in relation to the Worker's complaints made in 2015 to be furnished to the Worker. I do not uphold the complaints of the Worker which fail, nor do I recommend any further action be taken by the Respondent”.
A Labour Court hearing took place on the 14th June 2019.
DECISION :
The Court has considered the submissions made by both parties and associated documentation plus the arguments made verbally at the Court hearing.
The Court concurs with the Adjudication Officer that a case has not been established that the Respondent and its HR Manager were guilty of bias or unfair treatment.
In upholding the finding of the Adjudication Officer, the Court upholds the recommendation that a formal outcome be prepared in relation to the Worker’s complaint made in 2015 and that this be furnished to the Worker.
Signed on behalf of the Labour Court
