Salesman gets €60k compensation after targets trebled

A SALESMAN threatened with the sack after he complained when his targets were trebled has been awarded €60,000 compensation.

An Employment Appeals Tribunal found Christopher Melligan, from Carpenterstown, Dublin, was unfairly dismissed by bosses at Karmarton Ltd when they imposed a tough new pay and bonus scheme on him.

The tribunal ruled the company, based at City West Business Campus, Saggart, Co Dublin, brought in unfair sales targets and work practices effectively forcing Mr Melligan out of work.
