The Labour Court upheld the adjudication officer’s decision that Nickola Hanaphy was entitled to a redundancy payment after Solo Hair Design failed to attend its appeal. The determination was dated 27 August 2019. Hanaphy worked for the business from 2008 to 2017. When it closed, the employer offered her a job in another salon, which she declined because she believed it would cut her income and amount to a demotion. The employer said it could not afford redundancy.
