Labour Court upholds decision denying Anita Olejniczak redundancy pay

The Labour Court upheld the decision that Anita Olejniczak was not entitled to redundancy pay from Glenbeigh Fire & Flood Limited. The Court dated its decision 13 May 2019. Ms Olejniczak argued that her service with Glenbeigh Records Management Ltd from 2009 to 2017 should count towards the 104 weeks needed to qualify. The Court accepted that the companies were separately owned legal entities and found no evidence that either was a subsidiary of the other or that both belonged to a third company. It concluded that her earlier service could not be counted, so she did not qualify for redundancy pay. The Court also had no jurisdiction to consider her minimum notice issue because it had not been argued at adjudication; the merits were not decided.
