Hotel manager awarded €8,000 over unfair dismissal

The WRC awarded Devendrasingh Boodhun €8,000 after finding his dismissal from The Schoolhouse Hotel Limited procedurally unfair. The hotel said he improperly applied a 10% service charge to smaller tables; Boodhun denied wrongdoing. The adjudicator found dismissal substantively reasonable, but ruled the process unfair because new matters were raised at the disciplinary meeting and there was overlap among those handling the dismissal.
