WRC finds it has no jurisdiction over redundancy-payment claim

By Gráinne Nolan

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC found it had no jurisdiction to hear a complainant’s redundancy-payment claim against a Car Dealer; the merits were not decided. Adjudication officer Jim O’Connell dated the decision 15 November 2017. The Car Dealer argued that a High Court settlement ended the employment by mutual consent and that the WRC had no jurisdiction. The complainant said he had not seen or signed any such documents. The adjudicator based the decision on documentation submitted by the respondent.
