Labour Court recommends suitable reference for Silver Granite worker

In 1998, the Labour Court recommended that The Silver Granite provide a worker with a suitable reference after a dispute over her departure from the public house. The worker said the manager dismissed her after she could not work a Saturday evening shift; the company said she left of her own accord. The Court said the incident could have been handled better by both sides. It noted that the company knew a roster had been agreed and had not sought an alternative chef, while the worker left her station during lunch service. The Court recommended a suitable reference. Its recommendation was dated 20 April 1998.
