heard this appeal at Carlow on 9th April 2015
Representation:

Respondent: No appearance or representation on behalf of the respondent.
Determination:
It was the appellants’ evidence that their employment terminated without notice when the respondents’ business closed. Based on the uncontested evidence of the appellants the Tribunal finds that they are entitled to a lump sum payment under the Redundancy Payments Acts, 1967 to 2007, based on the following criteria:
| Appellant A | Appellant B | Appellant C |
Date of commencement | 24 April 2012 | 13 May 2010 | 13 May 2010 |
Date of termination | 2 May 2014 | 2 May 2014 | 2 May 2014 |
Gross weekly pay | €198.95 | €207.60 | €129.75 |
Please note:
Appellant A has received €208.95 as part-payment of the redundancy lump sum.
Appellant B has received €373.35 as part-payment of the redundancy lump sum.
Appellant C has received €524.50 as part-payment of the redundancy lump sum.
This award is made subject to the appellant having been in insurable employment under the Social Welfare Acts during the relevant period.
The Tribunal finds that the appellants are also due payment in lieu of notice. The Tribunal awards Appellant A €397.90, Appellant B €415.20 and Appellant C €259.50 (being the equivalent of two weeks’ gross pay) under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts, 1973 to 2005.
