Labour Court sets aside €1,000 recommendation on National Irish Bank appeal

The Labour Court upheld National Irish Bank’s appeal and set aside a €1,000 compensation recommendation to an unnamed worker, while leaving in place the rejection of his claim to withdraw or reduce a written warning. The Court signed its decision on 30 August 2002. The bank appealed the monetary recommendation following a 2000 risk-asset review and a written warning issued to the worker. The Rights Commissioner had rejected the claim about the warning but recommended compensation. The Court supported the rejection of the warning claim but did not support the compensation recommendation. It amended the recommendation accordingly.
