WRC - English contract but tax paid in Ireland

Crea · 10-08-2018 05:39PM #1

My husband was employed by a foreign company but worked in Ireland. His employment contract was under English law but he was paid through and accountancy firm in Ireland and paid PAYE, PRSI & USC.
He was made redundant and the company he worked for didn't pay him any redudancy under as per his contract and has folded. He applied to the Workplace Relations Commission for statutory redudancy and they have ruled that because the contract was in the English courts he has no claim in Ireland, despite the fact that PRSI and PAYE was paid to the Irish exchequer.

Is there any point in appealing this with the WRC?

He was employed in Ireland and therefore Irish law applies. Doesn’t matter where the contract of employment was from. Absolutely take this to the WRC.

The WRC has found that he isn't entitled to statutory redundancy because the contract was under English law. We want to appeal but are looking for guidance for grounds.
