Labour Court upholds reinstatement recommendation for McHugh's Centra shop assistant

In 2000, the Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner's recommendation to reinstate a shop assistant at Mchugh's Centra Foodmarket, Artane, with no loss of salary or benefits. The decision was signed on 28 July 2000. The employer said an alleged stock incident led to an investigation and dismissal, but did not explain the evidence to the worker. The Court agreed there had been an absence of fair procedures and natural justice. The worker rejected the allegation that she had acted dishonestly; the Court made no finding on that allegation.
