The Workplace Relations Commission has ordered M J Flanagan Ltd to pay Seamus O Brien €4,200 after finding his minimum-notice complaint well founded. The decision was dated 21 June 2024. O Brien worked as a Master Fish Filleter for the company from 3 July 1979 until 16 February 2024 and earned €525 a week. The company did not dispute the claim, saying financial difficulties meant it could pay wages only up to the business’s closure. The adjudication officer found that an employee with at least 15 years’ continuous service was entitled to eight weeks’ notice. The €4,200 award represents eight weeks’ pay.
