Labour Court recommends €1,500 for worker dismissed without contractual procedures

The Labour Court recommended that Peek A Boo Creche pay a worker €1,500 in full and final settlement of her unfair dismissal dispute. The recommendation was signed on 31 March 2021. The worker said her contract contained no probationary period and that the creche did not follow its disciplinary procedures when dismissing her. The Court found the contractual procedures were not followed and that the dismissal process did not accord with the Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures. The employer did not attend the hearing.
