IT worker loses out on €25k unfair dismissal payment after seeking more compensation

A computer engineer who was awarded €25,000 after being unfairly dismissed from his job ended up having the decision reversed after he appealed the level of compensation.

Siavsundarasan Periasamy ended up with no award after the Labour Court overturned his appeal against a decision by the Workplace Relations Commission that his former employer, Microchip Technology Ireland, had unfairly fired him from his job with the technology firm in January 2018.
