Woman awarded €9,000 for unfair dismissal after forgetting to pay for €6.74 toys for upset baby

A large supermarket chain is counting the cost of unfairly dismissing a female worker for taking without paying a €6.74 pack of ‘Hot Wheels’ toy cars for her upset 18-month-old baby boy.

This follows the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ordering the unnamed supermarket chain to pay its former office worker €9,000 after finding that she was unfairly dismissed on March 20, 2017.
