Redundancy Payments Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

If a worker in an insolvent firm does not receive statutory notice, it is necessary to take the case to the Employment Appeals Tribunal to determine the minimum entitlement. I compliment the Department because in order to streamline the process, it is proposed to allow employees to submit claims to the liquidator or receiver without having to go to the Employment Appeals Tribunal, thereby diverting these cases from the tribunal and ensuring a better service for the person who is made redundant. That shows common sense. I want to draw attention to that issue rather than repeating the old issues of age, etc.
