The Workplace Relations Commission awarded David Donohue €9,000 compensation after upholding his unfair dismissal complaint against Sjk Civils Ltd. The company said it dismissed him for gross misconduct after he did not attend or arrange a capability hearing. The WRC found the dismissal process unfair, citing the wrong procedure, a short hearing timeframe and an unclear appeal right. It also found both sides contributed to the dispute and that Donohue should have engaged more with the company.
