Dispute concerning the closure of the Company.
Recommendation:
The Court has fully considered all of the views of the parties as
expressed in their oral and written submissions.
It appears to the Court the Company for some time were fully aware
of their circumstances and the likelihood of closure with the loss
of employment of the workers concerned.
The Court considers the Company had an obligation in these
circumstances to involve its staff and to assist them to be able
to capitalise on any opportunities which might have become
available.
Given the current situation the Court finds closure is inevitable
and accordingly has addressed the issue of redundancy payments.
It is the recommendation of the Court that the employees being
made redundant be paid 3.50 weeks per year of service plus the
statutory payments.
