The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Boudewijn De Swart’s redundancy complaint against CHC Ireland Dac after finding that his service continued when he moved to Bristow. The decision was dated 7 August 2025. De Swart sought a redundancy payment after CHC lost the State search-and-rescue contract. The adjudicator found his employment with CHC ended when the contract was lost, but he moved to Bristow without a break in service and his CHC service was recognised. The adjudicator said the redundancy obligation transferred to the new employment and made no determination on whether TUPE applied.
