Facebook Comments Lead to Unfair Dismissal
Employment Law
An employment tribunal has ruled that an employee was unfairly dismissed for making negative comments about her workplace on Facebook. In the case of Witham v Club 24 Ltd t/a Ventura it was ruled that the comments made had been minor and there was no evidence that any harm had been caused to the employers business relationships. The employer had failed to take into account the clear employment record of the employee and her mitigating circumstances.
