Background

The claimant was employed by the respondent from November 2012 until the 19^th April 2017. She earned €340 gross per week.

I find that the claimant is entitled redundancy payment for the period of her service from November 2012 to the 19^th April 2017 where she was paid €340 gross per week working 20 hours @ €17per hour.
