The Labour Court increased compensation for a worker at Portroe Stevedores Limited to €7,000, varying a Rights Commissioner’s €4,000 recommendation on the union’s appeal. The decision was dated 13 May 2005. The complaint concerned the worker’s dismissal after the company said he had not reached the required competency level. The Rights Commissioner found the company had not followed the agreed procedure for addressing competency concerns, found in the worker’s favour and recommended compensation instead of reinstatement. The Labour Court’s €7,000 figure was in full and final settlement of all claims arising from his employment.
