The Labour Court rejected Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s appeal and upheld a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that no dismissal took place. Its decision was dated 23 June 1998. The dispute concerned Professional Contract Services Limited’s refusal to re-employ a former industrial cleaner. The worker said his supervisor approved unpaid leave from 30 May to 3 July 1997 and told him he could return. The company said he left voluntarily, received a P45 and went abroad to seek other work.
