Labour Court affirms finding against SAR Security in unpaid-leave dispute

The Labour Court affirmed without amendment a recommendation that an unnamed worker’s claim against Sar Security (Ireland) Ltd was not well founded. The decision was dated 25 May 2017. The worker said he could take unpaid leave on eight hours’ notice under terms transferred from his previous employer. He also alleged that he was denied representation and bullied and harassed. SAR Security said he refused to provide evidence of the leave entitlement when asked, and an investigation did not uphold his bullying complaint.
