Amanda Craddock wins redundancy complaint against Head - Hunt International Limited

The Workplace Relations Commission found Amanda Craddock’s redundancy complaint well founded and ordered Head - Hunt International Limited to pay her statutory redundancy payment. The decision was dated 13 December 2023. Her unfair dismissal complaint was not well founded. Craddock worked as a legal secretary at the Mahon Tribunal in Dublin Castle. She said Head-Hunt International was her employer and paid her wages. The company argued that the Tribunal employed her and that it provided payroll services while the Tribunal supervised her work. The adjudication officer found she was an employee of the respondent, although under the hirer’s control. The order requires payment within 42 days from the date of the decision; the source gives her weekly rate as €650 but does not state the amount of the statutory payment.
