WRC awards Edwina Bradley statutory redundancy

The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Edwina Bradley statutory redundancy for her employment at a fish and chip shop in County Kildare from 21 May 2018 to 23 July 2020. The decision was dated 18 November 2022. The stated weekly gross pay was €252. Bradley said the shop closed during Covid and that in July 2020 the owner told her it was being taken over and she no longer had a position. She said redundancy was later refused on the basis that she lacked the required two years’ service. The respondent provided no submission or oral testimony. Based on Bradley’s sworn evidence and payroll details, the WRC awarded statutory redundancy. Bradley’s related unfair dismissal complaint was deemed withdrawn after she said under oath that she would withdraw it if she succeeded on redundancy.
