The WRC found that a lecturer was entitled to a redundancy lump sum after her private third-level institution closed her department. The decision, dated 1 September 2016, set out her employment dates and weekly gross pay of €847 as the basis for the entitlement, subject to her having been in insurable employment. The institution did not attend the hearing or submit evidence. After verifying that it had notice, the adjudication officer proceeded and found that the lecturer’s employment had ended by redundancy.
