Labour Court recommended £1,500 for worker dismissed by Sabrewatch Limited

The Labour Court recommended that Sabrewatch Limited pay £1,500 to a worker dismissed after the company accused him of misconduct. The recommendation was dated 6 September 1993. The worker was employed as a security guard at Marks & Spencer branches on Mary Street and Grafton Street in Dublin. He disputed the company’s account of his conduct and said there had been no full investigation or opportunity for him to defend himself. Sabrewatch said he had left his post without permission and acted abusively. The Court found that the way the worker had been dealt with was unacceptable and contrary to good industrial relations practice. It recommended compensation of £1,500.
