WRC recommends €461.54 for worker over flawed dismissal process

The WRC recommended €461.54 compensation for a worker after finding that a company’s process leading to her dismissal was flawed. The decision was dated 26 March 2021. Her separate minimum notice complaint failed because she had received minimum notice and outstanding holiday pay. The worker said she had received no training and was not told that a meeting could lead to her dismissal. The company said she lacked administration and software skills and had made repeated basic mistakes despite being encouraged to train. The adjudicator found she was unsuitable for the job but that the process of managing her to dismissal was flawed. She secured other employment quickly.
