The Labour Court recommended that JJ Rhatigan and Company pay €5,000 compensation to a worker dismissed during a restructuring. The recommendation was signed on 25 February 2021. The employer acknowledged that the dismissal was unfair and accepted there had been no consultation before the decision. The worker found another job within two weeks. The Court took both factors into account when recommending compensation. The worker also claimed payment for overtime under a verbal understanding. The Court said his contract provided that overtime would not be paid and saw no merit in that part of the claim.
