Ask a solicitor: My company is making redundancies

The Statutory Redundancy Payment is typically two weeks gross pay per year of service up to a ceiling of €600 per week, plus one week’s pay, which is also subject to the ceiling of €600, writes solicitor Stephen Coppinger.

Dear Stephen,

I work for a large company in the agricultural industry, and they have indicated that they intend to lay off some staff in the next couple of months. However, they have not yet confirmed yet who will be affected, and it is my understanding that there are possibly going to be redundancies offered.
