WRC rejects Matthew Dobbs-hayden’s redundancy pay complaint against Pat Whelan

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Matthew Dobbs-hayden’s redundancy payment complaint against Pat Whelan, finding he was not employed by Whelan when his role became redundant. The decision was dated 1 April 2025, and no award was made. Dobbs-hayden said his employment ended by redundancy on 30 April 2020, but accepted he had started working for David Nolan on 4 February 2019. Whelan said the employment transferred to Nolan on that date and that he was no longer the employer when the role was made redundant.
