Builder awarded €10,000 after being fired for tampering with a work van's tracking device.

A construction firm, Protum Services, was ordered to pay €10,000 to builder Barry Naughton after he was dismissed for tampering with a company van's tracking device. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) upheld Naughton's complaint under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977 but reduced the compensation as Naughton had contributed to his own dismissal. The WRC criticized the company for failing to follow proper HR procedures during the investigation.
