Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Act, 1967 | CA-00072306-001 | 11/06/2025 |
Date of Adjudication Hearing: 27/11/2025
Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Jim Dolan
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 - 2014following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.
Background:
The complainant was employed by the respondent as an area manager. Employment commenced on 02nd February 2017 and ended on 11th March 2025. This complaint was received by the Workplace Relations Commission on 11th June 2025. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The complainant contends that she was not paid the correct amount of statutory redundancy and that her annual leave balance was paid as part of her redundancy. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The respondent states that they have paid the complainant the correct amount of statutory redundancy. |
Findings and Conclusions:
I have taken the figures supplied by the respondent and used them to calculate the redundancy due to the complainant. Using the Government redundancy calculator, I calculate the figure of statutory redundancy at €10,320.00. This is the amount the respondent calculated, it is correct. When one looks at the final payslip there are two amounts included: Redundancy payment €10,320 – this amount is paid tax free. The second amount of €1,112.00 represents untaken leave accrued at the time of the redundancy and must be taxed. The figures calculated by the company are correct and therefore the complaint as submitted under section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Act 1967 is not well-founded. |
Decision:
Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 – 2012 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under that Act.
The figures calculated by the company are correct and therefore the complaint as submitted under section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Act 1967 is not well-founded. |
