Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court found Graham Kealy’s minimum-notice complaint well founded and ordered his former employer, Blacklough Construction Limited, to pay him €1,260 gross for one week’s wages in lieu of notice. The Court set aside the earlier decision that had found the complaint not well founded. The determination was dated 16 January 2023. Kealy said he was dismissed without notice and sought one week’s notice pay. The Court heard his appeal after refusing the company’s request to postpone the hearing; the company’s representative came off record and the company did not attend. The Court said an employee with less than two years’ continuous service was entitled to one week’s notice.
