Question:427 Mr. Cosgrave asked the Minister for Labour when redundancy payment will be made to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 5.
My Department have no record of an application by the person concerned for payment of a statutory redundancy lump sum from the social insurance fund.
Under the Redundancy Payments Acts responsibility for the payment of a statutory redundancy lump sum entitlement rests in the first instance with the employer concerned. Accordingly, if the person concerned considers that he is entitled to a statutory redundancy entitlement which he has not received, he should approach his former employer with a view to obtaining this entitlement. If the former employer refuses or fails to make the payment within a reasonable time, the employee can then apply to my Department for payment from the social insurance fund. Such an application must be supported by evidence of entitlement to a redundancy lump sum either in the form of a redundancy certificate (Form RP2) issued by the former employer or, where entitlement is contested by the former employer, a decision from the Employment Appeals Tribunal in the employee's favour.
