Marwan Al Rahbi alleges constructive dismissal from €112,000 a year post with Rathgar Pharmacy Ltd
has been accused of bullying by a pharmacist who says he had to quit his job with her company to protect his health after a diagnosis of workplace stress.
Cillian McGovern, for the complainant, said his client was subjected to “rude and bullying” behaviour at work by Ms O’Connell on a day last May after seeking time off for the Islamic holiday of Eid Eid al-Adha the following month.
It denies dismissal and any breach of the legislation, with its barrister Derek Dunne telling the hearing that Mr Al Rahbi’s claims “do not stand up to scrutiny”.He said Mr Al Rahbi became “aggressive and confrontational” after being reprimanded by Ms O’Connell for using his mobile phone at work. Counsel said his client would also dispute Mr Al Rahbi’s account of an interaction with Mr O’Connell.
Mr Dunne said the company’s understanding was that Mr Al Rahbi had indicated he was resigning at that stage. He said Mr O’Connell then wrote asking him to confirm he had declined an offer to renew his contract.
