The Redundancy Payments Section of my Department completed the processing of a statutory redundancy lump sum payment for the above person. However, the claimant's address details had changed and the cheque was returned to the section. The cheque has now been posted to the claimant's current address.

In relation to the person mentioned by the Deputy, my Department has no records of an application having been made for a rebate in respect of a statutory redundancy payment paid to that person by the employer mentioned. Further, no application has been made either by the individual or the employer for a lump-sum payment from the Social Insurance Fund on the basis of inability to pay or, otherwise.

Payment of Statutory Redundancy is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the employer. It is up to the employer to decide whether or not a redundancy situation exists. If there is a dispute about a redundancy situation, it is open to either party to apply to the Employment Appeals Tribunal for a determination.
