I understand that in the context of the transfer of services to Beaumont Hospital, the person involved applied for the terms of the early retirement-voluntary redundancy scheme. However, in view of the need to maintain adequate staffing levels, it was not possible to accede to his request.
The case was subsequently considered by a Rights Commissioner and the staff member involved, who had not been reporting for duty, was allowed a specific period of time within which to report for duty. Having failed to report for duty, he was notified that he was assumed to have resigned with effect from 27 January 1988.
The Employment Appeals Tribunal then examined the case and it was recommended that the person involved receive the appropriate payment under the statutory redundancy payments scheme.
