The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation and disallowed a worker’s appeal over her termination during probation at Merloni Ltd’s Santry customer support centre. The decision was signed on 16 December 2005. The worker argued that the company had not used disciplinary procedures for her work performance. Merloni said her performance remained inadequate despite training and coaching. The Court found that the company had communicated its concerns and had not acted unreasonably or contrary to good practice by ending her employment during probation.
