The WRC awarded a security officer €1,500 after finding his dismissal unfair. The decision was dated 17 November 2017. He said the employer dismissed him after a client requested his removal from a security site, although an investigation accepted he was not sleeping on duty. The security company did not attend the hearing or provide evidence. The adjudication officer found it had not discharged its burden of proving the dismissal was not unfair. The worker had secured alternative employment, and the officer considered compensation for financial loss appropriate. The award was approximately four weeks’ wages.
