Summary

Four former employees of Beckett's Hotel & Restaurant in Leixlip, Co Kildare, have secured statutory redundancy payments from their former employer, Camrue Catering Ltd, following their layoff in March 2020. The company conceded all four claims during adjudication hearings before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) between July and September 2022. The staff had their last day at work on 15 March 2020, before the hospitality sector closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The WRC was informed that the business had not traded since the first lockdown in 2020 and was still seeking investors. The largest payment order was made to head chef John Boyne, who had worked for the company for over 24 years and is owed €29,407 in severance pay. Other payments included €17,280 to Sandra Clarke and €13,619 to Nicky Corrigan. Michelle Flynn-Smyth, with nearly 16 years of service, is due approximately €10,000.
