Quebec waitress who was fired for not smiling, awarded
Montreal, Feb 3 (IBNS): Quebec waitress, who was fired for allegedly not showing courteous behaviour, has been awarded $30,000 by Quebec's labour tribunal, media reports said.
Caroline Daunais was fired by Coco Frutti restuarant, where she was working, in April 2016.
Caroline had appealed to the tribunal alleging that the company had fired her for asking to clear the back payment.
The owner told the tribunal that Caroline was also fired for showing disrespecting to one of her colleagues and also rubbished the claims of back payments.
The restuarant owner even said all employees had problems with Caroline.
The judgement, overlooking the restuarant's allegations, stated all back payments had eventually been cleared.
Tribunal judge Christian Drolet told CTV News: "There is no reason to conclude that a comparable job was available or that she unreasonably withheld an offer of employment that she should reasonably have accepted."
