Workplace Relations Commission criticises bookmaker over unfair dismissal

The WRC ordered Bar One Racing to pay compensation of €2,700 to the worker. 

A leading bookmaker firm has been sharply criticised by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) over its approach to an unfair dismissal case and its “deplorable” treatment of a sacked worker.

The WRC said it was rare to encounter a case where there was “such a complete repertoire of gross breaches of fair procedure and of a worker’s rights”.
