1. Compensation.
BACKGROUND:
2. The Claimant referred her case to the Labour Court in accordance with Section 20(1) of the Industrial Relations Act, 1969. A Labour Court hearing took place on 14th March, 2018. The Employer was not present and was not represented at the hearing. The Claimant agreed to be bound by the Recommendation of the Court.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Court has given careful consideration to the Claimant’s submission. The Employer in this matter did not attend the hearing of the Court. The Court is satisfied that the Employer was properly advised of the date, time and location of the hearing of the Court.
On the uncontested submission of the Claimant the Court is satisfied that the Claimant was bullied and harassed while at work and was unfairly dismissed without notice or explanation.
The Court notes the earnings detailed on the P45 provided by the Employer to the Claimant on cessation of the Claimant’s employment. Noting the length of the Claimant’s employment the Courtrecommends that the Employer should pay the sum of €5,000 to the Claimant in compensation.
The Court so recommends.
Signed on behalf of the Labour Court
