Labour Court recommends €5,000 for worker unfairly dismissed by Complete Healthcare Solutions

The Labour Court found that Complete Healthcare Solutions Ltd unfairly dismissed a worker and recommended €5,000 in full and final settlement of matters relating to his employment. The recommendation was dated 8 October 2013. The company said it dismissed him after an unsuccessful probationary period, citing concerns about his communication, interpersonal skills and dietary knowledge. The worker said the employer failed to address his bullying and harassment complaint and had already decided to dismiss him. The Court found procedural deficiencies: no action plan was put in place to address identified shortcomings, and a meeting arranged to discuss his written complaint instead ended with notice of termination.
