The Labour Court found that a worker’s unfair-dismissal claim against Blades Barber Shop failed, but recommended the employer pay her €350 in full and final settlement. The recommendation was signed on 10 August 2007. The worker, a gents hairdresser, said she was dismissed after asking to reduce her hours. The Court found she had received warnings about problems at work that she had not heeded, and that the employer did not act unreasonably in ending her employment. It also noted she had not been paid one week’s notice.
