Labour Court recommends €500 for Craft Restaurant worker over grievance handling

The Labour Court recommended that Craft Restaurant pay a former general manager €500 after finding the restaurant fell short in handling his workplace complaint. The recommendation was dated 11 October 2023. The worker said he resigned after the proprietor failed to address his complaints about a colleague. The proprietor accepted that the worker had complained and said he spoke to the colleague, but did not report back to the worker. The Court found both sides contributed to the breakdown in their working relationship. The Court said the proprietor had not ensured the worker knew about the employee handbook or grievance procedure, or advised him of the findings on his complaint.
