The Labour Court recommended that Axa Assistance IRL Ltd remove a worker’s verbal warning and pay her withheld bonus and pay increases. The recommendation was signed on 26 October 2010. The dispute followed a text message sent to the worker’s supervisor. The company said the message was offensive and the warning was warranted. The Court found that the employer prevented the worker’s chosen representative from continuing in that role, contrary to its disciplinary procedure and the Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. It said this made the disciplinary process unfair.
