A US multinational software firm has been ordered to pay an award of nearly €170,000 to a senior Irish executive following a ruling of unfair dismissal by the Workplace Relations Commission.
The award was made after a US-based in-house lawyer for the company gave evidence and admitted he had not checked Irish employment law before dismissing a redundancy appeal by the sales director, who had been its most senior employee in Europe.
