SuperValu worker accused of misusing 'take-a-penny' tray challenges sacking
Summary
In a case heard by the Workplace Relations Commission, SuperValu dismissed Szymon Oasidrowski for alleged gross misconduct, claiming he had slept while clocked in and used coins from a "take‑a‑penny" tray to pay for food. Oasidrowski, who had worked for Musgrave Operating Partners Ireland Ltd for over a decade, was accused of 13 separate breaches in March and April 2023, including staying in the canteen for up to two hours while still clocked in and failing to pay for items such as bread rolls and soup. He also allegedly used customer coins from the tray to purchase items. The company's disciplinary officer, Lynne McManus, admitted there was no written policy on staff use of the tray, but stated staff could use it only when clocked out and not for the full amount of a purchase.
