Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC awarded a security officer €1,432.40 after finding that an unnamed construction company unfairly dismissed him while he was on sick leave. The decision was dated 9 September 2016. The company said it processed his P45 after discovering it had mistakenly paid him wages for another employee. The WRC found the company had not followed any procedure, sought no medical report or given the worker a chance to respond before ending his employment. It also found a breach of minimum-notice rules, but no compensation arose because he had suffered no loss under that complaint. He withdrew his working-time complaint at the hearing.
