WRC finds Jeremy Smith’s holiday, notice and redundancy claims out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission ruled in a decision dated 17 December 2025 that it had no jurisdiction to hear Jeremy Smith’s claims against Friel Stafford for holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy. Smith said he was owed the entitlements; Friel Stafford argued the claims were late and it was the wrong respondent. The adjudication officer found all three claims were outside statutory time limits, so their merits and the respondent-identity issue were not decided. No award was recorded.
