Will I get redundancy pay if Co. Liquidates?

[employeeOFtheMONTH]

Will I get Redundancy if the company I am working for goes into compulsory liquidation?

Or will I be lucky to get my last weeks wages?

Thanks,
Employee of the month

See here for information about statutory redundancy:



If you're entitled to statutory redundancy and the employer can't/won't pay then the DETE redundancy payments scheme will cover the payments instead (see below).

Non-statutory redundancy payments are a contractual matter between you and your employer or else negotiated on an individual or collective bargaining basis.

These other OASIS links might be of interest to you:



Contact the DETE employment rights or redundancy payments section for advice on your rights if necessary:

Don't forget that you may be entitled to Unemployment Benefit (PRSI payment related) or Unemployment Assistance and perhaps other welfare payments for any period of unemployment.
