Labour Court upholds €750 recommendation after Oscar Security appeal

The Labour Court upheld a €750 recommendation for a security officer whose hours were reduced before his dismissal, rejecting Oscar Security’s appeal. The decision was signed on 15 September 2010. Oscar Security said clients had requested the worker’s removal from their locations and argued that he was responsible for the loss of hours. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the company cut his hours without consultation and that other workers received additional hours. The Court noted the Rights Commissioner’s finding that the worker had contributed significantly to the situation, but upheld the one-off €750 payment in full and final settlement.
