In the calculation of entitlement for a statutory redundancy payment, absences such as career breaks which are authorised by the employer, constitute reckonable service and are included for purposes of calculating the redundancy entitlement of an individual.
The Redundancy Payments on-line System which can be accessed through my Department's main website, provides a facility to calculate statutory redundancy entitlements which take account of adjustments related to items such as career breaks.
