Labour Court recommends clear reference for dismissed worker

By Gráinne Nolan

Labour Court ·

In 1996, the Labour Court recommended that Kilcoole Garages Limited, trading as Hills of Bray, give a worker a clear and unambiguous reference regarding her honesty and integrity. The recommendation was signed on 5 March 1996. The worker said the company had not addressed her complaints about difficult working conditions and a roster before dismissing her. The company said it had tried to resolve a clash with a colleague and ended her employment after concerns about her work and plans to leave. The Court did not consider the company’s action unreasonable, but found that its handling of the worker left much to be desired. It said her honesty and integrity were not in question.
