WRC rejects Breda Corcoran’s redundancy claim against Greenstock Flowers

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Breda Corcoran’s redundancy payment claim against Greenstock Flowers Ltd., finding it was not well founded in a decision dated 14 February 2023. Corcoran, who worked as a florist, said she had been laid off and served notice that she intended to claim redundancy. The company disputed that her position was redundant and said it had offered her work on the same terms, with possible extra hours. The adjudicator found that Corcoran’s job still existed and that the company had unsuccessfully tried to contact her. The complaint failed, so she was not entitled to a redundancy payment.
