Under the Redundancy Payments Scheme all eligible employees are entitled to a statutory redundancy lump sum payment on being made redundant. It is up to the employer concerned, in the first instance, to determine whether or not there is in fact a redundancy situation and to make the relevant statutory redundancy payment to the employee(s). The Redundancy Payments Section of my Department administers payments from the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) in respect of the Redundancy Payments and Insolvency Payments Schemes on behalf of the Department of Social and Family Affairs. On submission of the appropriately completed application form (RP50) to the Redundancy Payments Section, a rebate in respect of 60% of the amount paid by the employer will be paid from the SIF.
