Wrong table numbers used in references

Question

I am writing a thesis in LaTeX, using a class file provided by my institution. This class file uses the hyperref package.

My thesis contains figures, listings (using the package listings) and algorithms (using algorithm2e). All of these are typeset as floats.

The numbering in the captions of tables is in accordance with the other two kinds of floats, and how I wish it to be: <chapter>.<counter>. The counter seems to be reset at the beginning of every chapter. (for example, the first table in chapter 3 says "Table 3.1" in its caption, the second table in chapter 4 is captioned as "Table 4.2", etc)

However when using the \ref{<label-inside-table-env>} to refer to the tables anywhere, a wrong(ly formatted) number is used with seems to include the number of the \section as well (<chapter>.<section>.<counter>). This of course is not presentable. This doesn't happen for figures or other floats, only for tables.

First of all, I inspected the class file to make sure it isn't the culprit of this inconsistency. As far as my (very novice to LaTeX) eyes can tell, nothing in there seems relevant to my problem.

I compiled the document without the global draft option to make sure this wasn't the cause.

Next, I read many seemingly related answers about wrong reference numbers here on tex.sx and while I learned interesting stuff I found no solution to my specific problem.

Lastly, I checked the documentation of package hyperref in hopes of finding something there. I was unsuccesful.

It confuses me that I can find no hint of a command which configures numbering for tables differently than for other floats, and yet I see this inconsitent result.

My question thus is:

Where can I learn how to control the numbering of referenced figures/tables in LaTeX (when using the hyperref package, if that changes anything)?

Just in case it is of interest/relevance, I provide both my main document and the class file below. My included chapters have nothing but content, no macro definitions at all, so I can pretty safely assume that if some inconsistent code is causing this problem, it is in one of the two files below.

My main document (which doesn't change how things are numbered)
