The Labour Court reduced Edilia Patricia Valazco Lopez’s unfair-dismissal compensation from €3,500 to €2,750 on Barry O’Callaghan’s appeal. The determination was signed on 9 March 2017. Lopez worked as a part-time receptionist at Barry O’Callaghan Kilcock Test Centre. The employer denied dismissing her and said she left after a disagreement with another employee. Lopez said the events left her unable to continue working there. The Court found that the unstructured employment relationship, including the lack of a contract, payslips, hours records and a grievance procedure, left Lopez with no alternative but to end her employment. It found her complaint well founded and varied the Adjudication Officer’s decision, awarding €2,750 in compensation.
