The Labour Court recommended €6,500 compensation for a relief staff nurse after finding her dismissal by Maypark Lane Limited T/A Maypark House was unfair. The recommendation was dated 17 November 2011. The worker was dismissed during probation after the employer cited performance concerns and an anonymous complaint about a resident’s care. The Court found she had not been given enough detail to answer the complaint, the dismissal decision was hasty and insufficiently investigated, and those who dismissed her also heard her appeal. The Court recommended the compensation in full and final settlement. The worker was represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union.
