Labour Court recommends Allegro take no further action on worker’s grievance

The Labour Court recommended that Allegro Limited take no further action on a worker’s grievance, finding its outcome reasonable and fair. The Court signed its recommendation on 11 May 2023 after hearing the appeal in Dublin on 28 April. The worker, represented by Mandate Trade Union, challenged Allegro’s handling of a grievance about her manager’s conduct and communications during an extended period of sick leave. She argued the investigation was not impartial and did not follow the Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures. Allegro said its process complied with the code and the investigation was fair. The Court also recommended that the worker engage with her line manager and seek support from Allegro’s employee assistance programme as she prepared to return to work.
