Labour Court recommends enhanced redundancy payments for four Alzheimer Society workers

The Labour Court recommended on 13 August 2014 that Four Workers made redundant by The Alzheimer Soceity of Ireland receive an enhanced ex-gratia payment of three weeks’ pay per year of service, on top of statutory redundancy already paid. The Irish Municipal Public and Civil Trade Union sought four weeks’ pay per year. The Court’s recommendation caps the combined statutory and ex-gratia payment at the lesser of two years’ pay or half the salary payable to preserved pension age.
