Labour Court upholds Rights Commissioner's recommendation in Tower Hotel dismissal appeal

The Labour Court disallowed a worker’s appeal and affirmed the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that he had resigned from his Commis Chef job at Tower Hotel. The decision was signed on 13 August 2001. The worker said he had been unfairly dismissed and sought compensation for the remainder of his probation. Tower Hotel said he resigned. The Court considered the parties’ submissions and evidence about how the employment ended and agreed with the Rights Commissioner’s conclusion.
