Labour Court finds worker was not unfairly dismissed by Midland Health Board

The Labour Court found that a worker was not unfairly dismissed by the Midland Health Board. Its recommendation was dated 29 May 2002. The worker said he had not received enough time or information to answer the allegations and that the dismissal process was unfair. The Board said it had supplied details of the complaints and offered opportunities to respond. The Court found that the worker was told about the complaints on 5 July 2000 and received further particulars, including their source, on 12 July. It said he declined later opportunities to meet his manager and found no lack of procedural fairness.
