Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court found that a part-time breakfast chef was unfairly dismissed by The Olde Railway Hotel in Westport, Co Mayo, and recommended €750 compensation. The recommendation was signed on 31 July 2007. The worker said he was regularly required to work hours beyond those agreed and was refused time off for personal appointments. The hotel said there were difficulties with another kitchen employee and that the job’s requirements did not suit him. The Court cited his short service and the circumstances of the case in recommending compensation in full and final settlement.
