Cut in award for dismissed driver

A cash van driver, who was dismissed for inappropriate behaviour including “peeing behind his van”, yesterday saw his award for unfair dismissal reduced by a judge.

Judge Jacqueline Linnane heard that Grzegorz Zwolinski had been awarded €7,500 by the Employment Appeals Tribunal for unfair dismissal. He appealed to the Circuit Civil Court for that award to be increased.

The court had heard that Mr Zwolinski, of Hamilton Avenue, Castlelands, Ballbriggan, Co Dublin, had been working for G4S Cash Solutions Ireland Ltd from March 2007 as a cash-in- transit operator until he was dismissed in September 2012.
