The Labour Court recommended that Lexington House Nursing Home pay a worker €3,000 after finding her dismissal unfair. The Court signed its recommendation on 18 May 2022. The worker, a health care assistant, said she had not intended to leave a resident unattended and that gross misconduct had not been raised at the meetings before her dismissal. The employer said it had received complaints from two residents and described the meetings and appeal process. The Court found that the worker had been told only that her performance was below the required standard, while the dismissal letter cited gross misconduct. It found that fair procedure had not been followed.
