The Labour Court recommended an ex-gratia redundancy payment of three weeks’ pay per year of service for an administrator made redundant by Galway Rural Development Co Ltd. The recommendation was signed on 14 April 2014. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought enhanced terms, saying three weeks’ pay per year of service plus statutory redundancy was the norm in the community sector. The company said funding cuts had forced it to close the project and that it had no funds for an additional payment. The Court recommended that the parties jointly seek funds from the relevant agencies to meet the payment, as the company could not pay it from its own resources.
