Labour Court upholds Supervalu dismissal ruling

The Labour Court upheld the decision that Olwale Noah Olade O'Noah was not unfairly dismissed by Musgrave Operating Partner Limited Supervalu, and his appeal failed. The Court’s determination was signed on 13 December 2022. O'Noah, a sales assistant, was dismissed for gross misconduct. The employer said its Real Reward Card policy restricted card use and staff were reminded of its terms. O'Noah disputed giving his card to customers and said he did not believe dismissal was warranted. The Court found that staff had received the policy, which said misuse could constitute gross misconduct, and that the dismissal process was not challenged as unfair. It found substantial grounds justified dismissal.
