The Labour Court upheld a €750 recommendation against St James Hospital after finding that fair procedures were not followed in handling a worker’s grievance. The decision was dated 12 September 2008. The hospital appealed the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation, arguing that any procedural shortcomings were minor and caused no financial loss. The worker said he had not been given a fair chance to challenge concerns about his performance. The Court agreed with the Rights Commissioner’s findings and said the worker should be paid €750 immediately.
