Labour Court recommends two weeks' pay per service year for Damart redundancies

In 1991, the Labour Court recommended that each employee made redundant by Messers J. Holland (Hoisery) Limited, trading as Damart, receive two weeks' pay per year of service in addition to statutory entitlements. The recommendation was signed on 30 September 1991. The Irish Distributive And Administrative Trade Union sought improved redundancy payments after the company's remaining outlets closed. It argued statutory payments alone were below normal practice in the distributive trades. The employer told the Court it would not be represented at the hearing. The Court made its recommendation after considering the union's submissions.
