Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC found that an electronics company unfairly dismissed a sales team leader and awarded her €8,500 compensation. The decision was dated 30 May 2017. It also found that she was owed her statutory minimum notice entitlement. The worker said she was dismissed after raising a grievance and was not interviewed during the investigation or given its findings before the disciplinary officer decided to dismiss her. The WRC found the dismissal unfair on both substantive and procedural grounds. It did not state a figure for the notice payment.
