Labour Court recommends €4,000 for Ergo worker dismissed without fair procedures

The Labour Court recommended that Ergo pay an anonymised worker €4,000 after finding serious breaches of fair procedures in his dismissal. The recommendation was signed on 2 December 2016. The worker said he had not received adequate induction or prior warnings. Ergo said his absences meant he could not fulfil his role. The Court found his absenteeism excessive, but Ergo had not shown that he was told the meeting could lead to dismissal, and he was not given an appropriate right of appeal.
