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 in the first instance to pay statutory redundancy payments to all eligible employees.

The purpose of the Redundancy Payments Scheme is to compensate employees for the loss of their job by reason of redundancy in cases where the employer can prove, to the satisfaction of my Department, that they are unable to make the payment. Employers can access and submit applications on the Department’s online service WelfarePartners.ie

To date, no application for redundancy support has been received by my Department in respect of the persons concerned.

To access the service, employers require a certificate which is generated using the Revenue Online Service – ROS.ie

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
