A security company has been ordered to pay compensation of over €6,300 to a security guard who was fired after a series of incidents, including leaving a fire door open and locking two members of the public in a museum. The Workplace Relations Commission ruled that security firm, CK Executive Services Ireland Limited, had unfairly dismissed Maria Monzon from her job on procedural grounds, despite having a reasonable cause to fire her. The WRC heard that the Mexican national's probation period as a security officer was terminated on March 25th 2025, following an incident in which she left an electric heater powered on and a fire door open in the museum where she was assigned to work. The complainant had already been on a final written warning for serious negligence after an earlier incident on February 6th, 2025 when two members of the public were briefly locked in the museum after Ms Monzon had not checked that everyone had left the building. https://lnkd.in/gtAiQ9WT
