Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Oghenenyerhovwo Ogbodu was not unfairly dismissed by Ocs One Complete Solution Ltd. The decision was dated 19 July 2021. Ogbodu, a security officer, said he acted in self-defence during a confrontation with customers at a client’s store. The company said he breached his security training by following a customer outside, taking car keys and becoming involved in a further altercation. The adjudicator found the dismissal was within the range of reasonable responses and that the investigation, disciplinary hearing and appeal followed fair procedures.
