The Labour Court recommended a €26,986.92 redundancy package for a production manager at Tyrone Productions Limited. Dated 2 September 2004, the recommendation included statutory redundancy entitlement and eight weeks’ ex-gratia pay. The worker, represented by Ken Stafford, Management Consultancy Services, was among seven employees made redundant during restructuring. She rejected the company’s offer of statutory entitlements plus two months’ salary and sought a larger settlement, saying management had not discussed selection, alternative work or payment and had provided no financial information. The company cited ongoing losses and said selection reflected the skills needed for the business. The Court recommended 21 weeks’ salary plus eight weeks’ ex-gratia pay, calculated at the worker’s actual weekly rate of €930.58, and noted the employer’s commitment to offer her first refusal on suitable production work in forthcoming projects.
