The Labour Court varied a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation and directed T. M. Blinds Ltd to pay a worker £300 after finding the company failed to follow its written-warning procedure before dismissing her. The decision was dated 28 January 1999. The worker said her performance was adequate and that she had received no written warning. The company said she had not met its required standard and had been spoken to several times about her performance. Her contract required a written warning for unsatisfactory performance and allowed dismissal if she did not respond adequately. The Court noted that she had been told verbally that her performance was unsatisfactory, but no written warning was issued.
