WRC awards Eillen Fallon €1,980 in notice pay

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) upheld two complaints by care worker Eillen Fallon against Lifetimecare Limited, including a direction to pay her €1,980 for four weeks’ notice. The WRC decision, dated 13 June 2024, also found that Fallon’s employment ended by redundancy and upheld her entitlement to a statutory redundancy payment, subject to her having been in insurable employment during the relevant period. The decision records her gross weekly wage as €495. Fallon said she had not received redundancy or notice pay after the company ceased trading. The company did not attend the hearing, although the WRC found it had been notified. The decision describes the company’s closure dates inconsistently, so the closure timing is not specified here.
