Bij brief van 10 februari 2022 is de arbeidsovereenkomst met [verzoeker] per onmiddellijk door Renaissance opgezegd. In die brief staat, voor zover van belang, als volgt:
“(
…) On February 6, 2022, our employees working at the IRD station noticed that the charger of the iPad, needed to process all orders, was missing. Since you had worked during the shift when the charger in question went missing, you were called on February 7, 2022, and asked whether you knew of the whereabouts of the charger in question, to which you replied that you did not know. Upon further investigation and upon reviewing the video footage, you were seen taking the charger in question from the IRD station at or around 2:17PM on February 6, 2022. You were later seen walking with the charger in your pants’ pocket.
On February 7, 2022, we discussed this matter with you (…). During this meeting, after you were informed that the footage of the surveillance camera showed that you had taken the iPad charger, you admitted that you had taken the charger. According to you, you had forgotten that you had borrowed the iPad charger to charge your phone and had taken it home with you by mistake. (…).
As you are aware, employees are not allowed to take chargers from work stations, since this can seriously hamper the operations of the work station in question. Furthermore, you are aware that the unauthorized removal of Company property is a serious violation of our rules and regulations.
We have in the meantime reviewed tour file and established that on several other occasions you have violated our rules and regulations. We are referring to the following incidents:
-
December 25, 2021: you received a written warning for not following a direct instruction given by your supervisor;
-
November 7, 2021: you received a written warning for leaving your work station – and the hotel property – for almost 30 minutes without authorization of your supervisor/manager;
-
October 11, 2021: you received a written warning for displaying lack of care for company assets;
-
September 18, 2021: you received a written warning for closing out a check without the guest’s signature and signing the check yourself;
-
July 25, 2021: you received a written warning for inappropriate behavior in front of guests: you had an altercation with a colleague in front of guests;
-
January 7, 2021: you received a written warning for refusing to following instructions to serve a guest;
-
January 7, 2021: you received a written warning for refusing to following instructions to serve a guest;
-
June 22, 2019: you received a written warning for using your supervisor’s code to make changes in the system (such as voiding checks) which is completely against company’s policy);
-
June 9, 2019: you received a written warning for not reporting to work according to your schedule – you arrived more than an hour late for work;
We met with you once again on February 9, 2022, to discuss this matter with you. According to you, it would have been busy February 6, 2022, and that would have been the reason you forgot the charger in your pocket and took it home with you. You further claimed that when your supervisor called you the next day to inquire about the charger, you would have been asleep and that is the reason why you had told him you did not know anything about the charger. However, as per our information, it was not busy on the day in question. Furthermore, you could not give an explanation why you did not inform your supervisor/manager that you had taken the charger with you by mistake when you reached home that day and/or when explicitly asked for the whereabouts of the charger on February 7, 2022.
The incidents of February 6, 2022, and February 7, 2022, as described above, individually, as well as in connection with all previous incidents as mentioned above, have caused us to lose all trust in you and individually, as well as in connection with the previous incidents as mentioned above, are considered an urgent reason for the immediate termination of your labor agreement as per today (…)”.
