In accordance with Section 41(4) of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 following the referral of the complaint(s)/dispute(s) to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint(s)/dispute(s) and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint(s)/dispute(s).

The complainant was made redundant by the Respondent on the closure of his business on the the 6th March 2015.

Section 41(4) of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint(s)/dispute(s) in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
Having heard and considered the uncontested circumstances of this case, I am satisfied that the employment of the complainant with the respondent was terminated by way of redundancy. Accordingly, the complainant is awarded a statutory lump sum under the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 to 2007 based on the following:
Date of Commencement: 3rd September 2012
Date of Termination: 6th March 2015
Gross Weekly Wage: €600.00 the maximum allowed under the Act.
This award is made subject to the complainant being in insurable employment during the relevant time.
