Hi

Does anybody know if the govt or agencies are providing any sort of tax relief/grant to business looking to minimise redundancies? Have looked at FAS, but cannot see anything appropriate.

Am involved in retail.

Thanks
 
Your are talking about the Irish Government?

None that I know of, but the UK have incentives to employers
 
No agencies that i know off. Have you considered all the other alternatives, reduction in pay, short-term lay off , redundancy etc

Have done, yes, just wishful thinking really that the govt might like to stave off additions to the unemployed register.
Am I naive to think that tax foregone from an employee is better than paying someone on the dole, at least short-term until we ride out this current economic scenario?
