The Court of Appeal rejected a company's appeal, upholding the decision of the Labor Disputes Court which ruled the 2016 dismissal of an employee as unlawful. The company claimed that the employee was sleeping during working hours, an act considered serious misconduct. However, the employee denied the allegations, stating that he was using the computer for technical research. The court ruled that the employer failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the allegation, while the employee's testimony remained uncontested due to a lack of cross-examination. Furthermore, the consequences of the alleged behavior on the business were not examined. Consequently, the company was ordered to pay compensation amounting to €5,607.54 for 18 weeks, €2,492.24 as pay in lieu of notice, legal fees, and the costs of the appeal.
