WRC awards cleaner €4,000 for unfair dismissal

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Cecile Eugene Ramos was unfairly dismissed and ordered Bidvest Noonan Limited (Main Office) Cleaning And Other Services to pay him €4,000 compensation. The decision was dated 17 October 2022. The WRC found the dismissal itself fell within the range of reasonable responses, given Ramos’s active warning and admitted breaches of workplace rules. But it found the procedures unfair: the manager who decided to dismiss him had not attended the disciplinary hearing, and the decision took account of matters beyond the allegations being considered. The adjudicator found that Ramos contributed significantly to his dismissal and took this into account when setting compensation.
