The WRC upheld a general operative’s redundancy claim against a meat processing plant. The decision was dated 8 May 2017. The worker said he had been employed continuously from 25 November 2005 to 24 October 2016 and received no redundancy payment after short-time working and layoff. The respondent did not attend or provide submissions, so the adjudicator relied on his uncontested account. The plant was required to pay his statutory redundancy entitlement, based on weekly wages of €560 and continuous service from 25 November 2005 to 24 October 2016.
