The WRC upheld a catering worker’s redundancy complaint after finding that the alternative job offered was unreasonable. The decision was dated 16 February 2018 and entitled her to a statutory redundancy payment based on her service from 15 October 2012 to 28 April 2017, subject to insurable employment. The worker said her employer’s business was ceasing to trade. The alternative job would have added about an hour to each leg of her commute, brought extra travel costs and had less suitable hours. The WRC found those factors justified her refusal. The café and delicatessen did not attend the hearing.
