Finance clerk awarded €57,000 for unfair dismissal via IrishTimesBiz

The WRC heard the complainant was a processing clerk in the quality department at Exela Technologies Ltd — then known as Banktec — when her role was made redundant.A woman employed by a finance transaction company has been awarded more than €57,000 after she made a complaint that the termination of her role was a “sham” under the Unfair Dismissals Act.

Exela said Ms Branagan was fairly selected for redundancy and that she showed no interest in an identified alternative role, that she was afforded the right to fair procedures and that her dismissal was not unfair. However, her colleague then received an email telling her that she was not going to be made redundant.

Lawyers for Ms Branagan argued that “the sole intention of the redundancy process was to remove the complainant [Ms Branagan] from her role in order to maximise cost efficiency” because she was paid substantially more than her colleague.Investors are worried about energy prices, with those worries reflected in a series of bad sessions for European stocks this week.To understand what's happening, Ciaran is joined by Aidan Donnelly, Associate Director at Davy Global Fund Management.
