Accordingly, the Tribunal makes a determination to the like effect as the Rights Commissioner Recommendation r-151431-ud-14/DI that the Respondent / employer re-instate the Claimant in his previous role from the date his employment was terminated on 08th August 2014 and the Respondent / employer to compensate the Claimant for loss of earnings from 08th August to the date his re-instatement is implemented, under the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 to 2007.
