asked the Minister for Labour the reason a former employee of Irish Shipping Ltd. (details supplied) in County Monaghan has not received redundancy payment.
Written Answers. - Redundancy Payment.
601.
My Department have not received an application for redundancy lump sum payment from the employee concerned. Such application would, in any event, have to be accompanied by a redundancy certificate issued by the liquidator of the company as the employer's representative.
I understand that a redundancy certificate has not yet been issued in this case as the employee is in dispute with the liquidator in regard to the date of termination of his employment. If agreement cannot be reached, it is open to the employee to appeal to the Employment Appeals Tribunal for a determination of the case.
When the employee's entitlement has been determined, an application for payment from the redundancy and employers' insolvency fund should be submitted to my Department, accompanied by the relevant redundancy certificate. Such application will be dealt with expeditiously by the Department.
