Labour Court recommends £500 compensation after finding Muintir Skibbereen Credit Union dismissal procedures unfair

The Labour Court recommended that Muintir Skibbereen Credit Union Limited pay a clerical officer £500 after finding the procedures used to dismiss her unfair. The recommendation was dated 22 March 1999. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the worker had completed probation without being told of performance concerns and had sought information about security at the Schull sub-office. The credit union said she had not made sufficient progress to run the office despite training. The Court said performance concerns had not clearly been conveyed, it was unclear whether probation extensions had been explained, and the employer had failed to use its grievance procedure.
