A WRC adjudication officer recommended that an employer pay a worker €1,550 after finding her probationary dismissal unfair because the employer did not follow fair procedures. The recommendation was dated 17 September 2024. The worker said she was dismissed after questioning why her Christmas bonus was €250 rather than the €500 in her job offer. She said a review two days earlier had been positive. The employer cited concerns about sales activity, timekeeping and attitude. The officer found there was no evidence the worker had been warned that her job was at risk or given meaningful feedback on performance concerns. The recommendation took account of her short period of employment.
