On 1 January 2011, my Department assumed responsibility for making redundancy payments from the Social Insurance Fund. There are two types of redundancy payment made from the fund i.e. rebates to those employers who have paid statutory redundancy to eligible employees and statutory lump sums to employees whose employers are insolvent and/or in receivership/liquidation.

I understand that the person concerned recently received a determination from the Employment Appeals Tribunal. The applicant should submit a copy of this determination together with a completed redundancy application form (RP50) to his employer for payment of his statutory entitlements. If his employer fails to make this payment, the applicant should then send the completed RP50 together with a copy of the determination to the Redundancy Payments Section of my Department for processing and payment.

I understand the person concerned was employed by the Department of Education and Skills and that her employment was terminated. It is the responsibility of her employer to pay any redundancy entitlement in the first instance. I understand that this case has not yet been finalised by her employer and as such the person concerned should pursue the matter with her employer.
