Stakelogic loses lawsuit against former employee

A former employee of gambling company Stakelogic from the Netherlands has won a lawsuit against her former employer as shown in a report by Rechtspraak.nl. The judge ruled that Stakelogic wrongly dismissed her after four warnings. The woman is now given the opportunity to reintegrate and receives substantial compensation.

The woman has worked as a game presenter at Stakelogic since 2021. She received her first warning for unauthorized absence in May 2023. After a traffic accident in July, she became incapacitated for work, but according to the company doctor, she was able to reintegrate after six weeks for two hours a day.

Employee should not have been fired

Tensions between the woman and Stakelogic increased. She received three more warnings: for not wearing company clothing, missing an appointment with the company doctor, and finally for ‘partying’ during her sick leave. In December 2023, she was summarily dismissed.

The woman challenged her dismissal in court. She argued that three of the four warnings were unjustified and that there was no compelling reason for immediate dismissal. The judge agreed with her.

Significant damages

The court ruled that Stakelogic had exaggerated the seriousness of the incidents and that there had been no recurrence. The warnings were therefore not an urgent reason for dismissal. Stakelogic must now give the woman the opportunity to reintegrate and pay 70% of her salary for the period after her dismissal.

In addition, the woman receives a net amount of €5,400 in recruitment bonuses and Stakelogic must bear the legal costs. The judge’s ruling isn’t ideal for Stakelogic and shows that Dutch employees are well protected against unfair dismissal.

The woman is satisfied with the judge’s ruling. She hopes she can resume her work at Stakelogic. “I’m glad I was proven right,” she said. “I have always worked hard for Stakelogic and I therefore think it is unfair that I have been fired.”

Stakelogic has not yet responded to the judge’s ruling. It is unclear whether the gambling company will appeal.
