The Labour Court recommended that Kelly Scaffolding Limited pay €2,000 compensation to a worker dismissed after a workplace incident. The recommendation was signed on 18 August 2008. The worker's union said he was assaulted by his foreman, reported the incident and was dismissed without a fair process. The company said its investigation found that the worker instigated the violence. The Court found defects in the investigation and dismissal procedures, which did not comply with the Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures. It said the termination was procedurally incorrect.
