The Labour Court upheld a €7,500 compensation recommendation to a worker dismissed by Q Park after a customer complaint. The union appealed, seeking a higher award, while Q Park did not appeal. In a decision dated 12 February 2009, the Court found no reason to amend the recommendation and said Q Park should pay €7,500 in full and final settlement of all claims. The Rights Commissioner had found that Q Park lacked a fair procedure for handling the incident and recommended compensation. Q Park said the worker's conduct was gross misconduct, while acknowledging that dismissing an employee by telephone was unacceptable.
