Waiter awarded €3.2k for being unfairly dismissed after eating croissant behind cafe counter

A café has been ordered to pay €3,200 compensation to a waiter for unfairly dismissing him over eating a croissant while at work.

The café is counting the cost of the unfair dismissal after the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found that the manner of the dismissal was entirely contrary to the principle of fairness and natural justice.
