WRC awards teacher €3,948.25 after finding notice was too short

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC awarded a teacher €3,948.25 after finding an education body gave him only one week’s notice before his employment ended. Adjudication Officer Seán Reilly’s decision was dated 7 December 2016. The teacher said he had received only one week’s notice. The WRC found his 13 years of continuous service entitled him to six weeks’ notice or pay in lieu, leaving five weeks’ wages due. The respondent did not attend the hearing or send submissions. The WRC upheld the minimum notice complaint and directed the education body to pay €3,948.25 in compensation.
