The Labour Court reduced a worker’s disciplinary warning to a stage 1 verbal warning after allowing her appeal against Marks & Spencer’s Ireland Ltd to that extent. The decision was dated 27 May 2008. The worker had challenged a stage 3 warning imposed after she used a co-worker’s discount card to buy goods; the warning also prevented her from receiving a €750 bonus paid to staff in July 2007. The Court found no dishonest conduct or attempt to defraud the company, and said the worker gained no benefit from the technical breach of company rules. It concluded that a stage 1 verbal warning was adequate in the circumstances.
