The decision of the Tribunal was as follows:

The claimant commenced employment with the respondent, a recruitment agency on 30^th June, 2011.

The claimant told the Tribunal that after a suspension period he was dismissed from his employment having commenced on 30^th June, 2011.   He did not receive his minimum notice entitlement from the respondent.   The respondent told the Tribunal that the claimant worked in company M and was paid his salary by the recruitment agency. Company M did not want the claimant working with their company going forward.

The respondent told the claimant that if further work was available he would be contacted. The respondent received a sick certificate from the claimant covering his absence until 5^th June, 2011. The respondent received a solicitor’s letter from the claimant on 29^th May, 2013 and therefore did not seek further employment for the claimant.

Determination

Based on the evidence adduced, the Tribunal awards the claimant his statutory entitlement of €450.17, being the sum due for one weeks’ notice, under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts, 1973 to 2005.
