Labour Court rejects worker’s appeal against Silver Stream Healthcare Group warning

The Labour Court rejected a worker’s appeal seeking removal of a final written warning from her file, leaving the warning in place. The decision was signed on 28 November 2014. Silver Stream Healthcare Group said the worker was outside her allocated work area, creating a potential risk to residents. She argued there were shortfalls in the investigation, that she followed her supervisor’s instructions about breaks and that no sanction was warranted. The Court agreed with the Rights Commissioner that there was sufficient evidence for the warning and that the matter was primarily procedurally fair.
