Amir Sajad Esmaeily had travelled to ‘prohibited’ country to attend his uncle’s funeral, Workplace Relations Commission told
Dublin Business School has been ordered to pay €53,000 after admitting sacking a lecturer for logging into his college email account from Iran was unfair.
He was dismissed on February 3rd, 2023, following a disciplinary process, which concluded that “unauthorised access to his college emails whilst abroad amounted to a serious breach of college policy”, the college’s lawyers told the WRC.‘There are times I regret having kids.
Claire Bruton BL, who was instructed by Hayes Solicitors for the respondent, conceded at a hearing in May that the dismissal was unfair. The only matter for consideration by the WRC was compensation. Mr Esmaeily was earning a contractual salary of €50,000 a year, with additional supervision duties raising his average annual earnings to €91,000, it was submitted.
The tribunal heard Mr Esmaeily made 35 job applications in the 18 months between his dismissal in February 2023 and a final hearing in August 2024. Ms Bruton submitted that there was “no evidence” of the complainant applying for work outside his field, or that he met the requirement in case law to make efforts every day to find new work.
