Labour Court sets aside €400 payment in Tesco warning appeal

The Labour Court set aside the €400 compensation recommendation after Tesco Ireland appealed a recommendation concerning a worker’s written warning. It upheld the recommendation to remove the warning from the worker’s record. The Court found the failure to follow documentation procedures resulted from a misunderstanding with the manager, not a deliberate decision to disregard them, and said an informal caution would have been more appropriate. The recommendation was varied. The decision was signed on 23 March 2006.
