Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC found it had no jurisdiction over ten employment claims brought by Michael Hayes against the Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment. Hayes withdrew his redundancy and minimum notice claims during the hearings. The decision was dated 11 March 2022; the merits of the ten jurisdictional claims were not decided. The Adjudication Officer found Hayes had been an office holder, not an employee under a contract of employment, and lacked standing to pursue the claims. The ten claims concerned part-time work, fixed-term work and working time.
