A security services provider was ordered to pay a security guard €3,500 compensation after the WRC found he was unfairly dismissed. Adjudication officer Aideen Collard dated the decision 7 December 2017. The provider said it intended to include the guard in a site contract transfer but that he had been unavailable and had abandoned his employment. The officer found he had made extensive efforts to establish his employment status and seek work, while the provider gave no reasonable explanation for ceasing to offer him shifts. The officer also considered the guard’s limited efforts to find similar work during about a year of unemployment when setting compensation.
