Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 April 2004
75 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will examine the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12; and if this person qualifies for statutory redundancy. [12358/04]
View answerIf the person concerned were put on lay off for the two week period in question, it would not break his service and all his service would be reckonable for redundancy purposes. However, if he left the employment of his own accord or was dismissed by his employer, he may be deemed to have broken his service. Disputes regarding redundancy matters are dealt with by the Employment Appeals Tribunal. If the person concerned wishes to discuss this matter further, he should contact the redundancy payments section of my Department where my officials will be glad to assist him.
