The Labour Court recommended that Jons Civil Engineering Company Ltd pay €2,000 compensation to a dozer driver whose dismissal it found procedurally unfair. The recommendation was dated 6 September 2006. The worker’s union said he was not given a reason for his dismissal or proper procedures, and that the company ignored its representations. Jons Civil Engineering Company Ltd said the worker lacked competence and repeatedly failed to follow supervisors’ instructions. The Court found there was no written warning that his employment was in jeopardy and no documentary evidence that formal verbal warnings had been issued. It recommended compensation of €2,000, taking account of his short service.
