The WRC recommended that a software provider pay a senior accounts specialist six weeks’ pay per year of service on top of his statutory redundancy entitlement. The recommendation was dated 30 August 2022. The worker sought eight weeks’ pay per year, saying this reflected sector practice. The employer said it had met its statutory obligations and offered an additional goodwill payment, which he rejected.
