Tribunal hears how dental technician found hidden camera in office

A female worker at a dental lab left her job in distress after she discovered that a secret camera had been placed by her employer in a smart lever arch-folder to snoop on her.

Now, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has ruled that the dental technician was entitled to resign and claim constructive dismissal and has ordered the dental lab, run by a husband and wife team, to pay the worker €5,000 for unfair dismissal.
