Jennifer Kearney wins redundancy entitlement after taxi business closes

Jennifer Kearney was found entitled to a redundancy payment after the taxi business where she worked closed, though the decision gives no payment figure. The Workplace Relations Commission, in a decision dated 4 April 2024, upheld her complaint under the Redundancy Payments Act. Her employer, Mr Patrick Gilsenan, trading as, Call-A-Car, accepted that Kearney was made redundant but said he could not pay the entitlement. The adjudicator found Kearney had worked continuously from 2 December 2016 until 31 July 2023 and was entitled to payment based on gross weekly pay of €216.
