WRC finds cleaner’s unfair dismissal complaint not well founded

The WRC found a cleaner’s unfair dismissal complaint not well founded. The decision, dated 9 May 2017, followed his refusal of four alternative work sites offered by the cleaning company. The cleaner said he had been bullied by a supervisor and dismissed after refusing to leave the site where he had worked since 2008. The WRC found that the investigation, disciplinary and appeal processes followed fair procedure and natural justice. It also found the company acted reasonably by offering four alternative sites without loss of wages or conditions, which the cleaner refused.
