Under the Redundancy Payments Scheme, all eligible employees are entitled to a statutory redundancy payment on being made redundant. Payment of statutory redundancy is, in the first instance, a matter for the employer. If, however an employer is unable to pay the statutory redundancy entitlement to the employee, my Department will, upon submission by the employer of satisfactory documentary evidence proving inability to pay, make payment directly to the employee from the Social Insurance Fund. The Redundancy Payments Section of my Department has received an application from the individual concerned but is awaiting the submission from the employer of satisfactory documentation proving inability to pay. Once this is received, and if it is in order, the claim will be processed for payment.
