Labour Court recommends €3,500 salary and €2,000 compensation for worker

The Labour Court recommended that Shamrock Farm Enterprises Ltd pay a worker €3,500 in gross salary, €695.94 in expenses and €2,000 compensation for the unfair manner in which her employment ended. The recommendation was signed on 7 November 2022. The worker, a business manager, said she had not been paid or reimbursed for business expenses. The company denied ending her employment and argued that training costs offset amounts due, but provided no breakdown. The Court rejected the training-cost claim and found the salary and expenses claim well-founded. It concluded that the company had ended her employment without fair procedures and said she was entitled to one week’s notice under her contract.
