Labour Court Database __________________________________________________________________________________ File Number: CD91408 Case Number: LCR13403 Section / Act: S20(1) Parties: SPLASH BOUTIQUE - and - A WORKER;O'DUFFY QUINN AND COMPANY, SOLICITORS |
Dispute concerning alleged unfair dismissal, and monies owed to a worker.
Recommendation:
3. The Court has considered the circumstances which led to the
eventual termination of the worker's employment with the Company.
In the absence of any evidence to the contrary the employer's
behaviour was such as to constitute constructive dismissal. The
Court further notes the employer's representatives offer of £250
conditional on the worker not proceeding with the case. In the
circumstances the Court is of the opinion that a more appropriate
amount is £1,000.
The Court recommends that the employer should pay the worker this
amount together with whatever monies may be outstanding in respect
of holiday money, payment in lieu of notice etc.
