The Redundancy Payments Act 1967, as amended, provides for the making of payments by employers to employees in respect of redundancy.  It is the employer’s responsibility to pay statutory redundancy payments to all eligible employees.  If an employer is unable to pay due to financial difficulties, an application for payment from the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) may be submitted to my Department.

The application process for the Redundancy Payment Scheme changed on 5 July 2021.  Employers or their representatives should submit applications using the Department’s online service – WelfarePartners.ie.  To access the service, employers require a certificate which is generated using the Revenue Online Service – ROS.ie.  The certificate is called a DSP sub-cert.

As of Tuesday 19 April 2022, no application has been received in respect of the person concerned.
