Procedure:
In accordance with Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 - 2014following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.
Background:
The Complainant commenced employment on 9th October 2017. The Complainant’s employment terminated on 17th August 2020, on the grounds of redundancy.
On 21st August 2020, the Complainant referred the present complaint to the Commission. Herein, she alleged that she did not receive a statutory redundancy payment, in contravention of the Act. A hearing in relation to the same was convened for, and finalised on, 21st November 2023. At the outset of the hearing, the Complainant confirmed that she received the statutory payment and the issue had been resolved. |
Summary of the Complainant’s Case:
the Complainant confirmed that she received the statutory payment and the issue had been resolved. |
Summary of the Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent confirmed that the statutory notice payment was issued to the Complainant, and that no further payments were outstanding. |
Decision:
Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 – 2012 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under that Act.
In circumstances whereby it is common case that the Complainant received her full statutory redundancy payment, I find that her appeal fails. |
