against

EMPLOYER – respondent

under

MINIMUN NOTICE AND TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT 1973 TO 2007

I certify that the Tribunal

(Division of Tribunal)

Chairman:    Ms P. McGrath BL

Members:     Mr J.  Goulding

                     Mr P. Trehy

heard this appeal at Dublin on 2^nd September 2013

Representation:

Claimant:         In person

Respondent:    No appearance or representation                   

The decision of the Tribunal was as follows:-

Determination

Based on the uncontested evidence of the claimant the Tribunal accepts that the respondent is no longer trading and that the claimant’s employment terminated due to redundancy.

The claimant came before the Tribunal with this claim on 29 March 2012 and on that occasion his representative withdrew the claim without his consent. No order was made by the Tribunal in relation to the claim at that time. There is no statutory time limit under the Act for making a claim and therefore no bar on the claimant resubmitting his claim.

The Tribunal is satisfied that the claimant was not given notice when his employment terminated. The claim under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts 1973 to 2005 succeeds and the claimant is awarded the sum of €1594.00 being two weeks’ pay.
