The Labour Court recommended that E Bay pay a worker €3,000 after finding he was treated unfairly when his employment ended. The recommendation, signed on 22 August 2023, followed the worker’s referral under the Industrial Relations Act, 1969. E Bay said the worker had misled it about his name and earlier employment with PayPal. The worker denied this and provided documents showing his full name and previous PayPal employment had been disclosed before he started work. The Court found the documents contradicted the employer’s account and said it had failed to follow the Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures before deciding to dismiss him, including during his probationary period.
