Redundant HSE staff may get two extra weeks’ pay

THE rushed nature of the HSE’s redundancy packages means that thousands of staff will have to be paid two weeks’ extra salary on top of their redundancy payments.

HSE management have told HSE employees who have applied for redundancy that they won’t find out if they are leaving their job until December 17, two weeks before departure.

However, due to this late date, management won’t be able to give many staff their legal notice requirement of a month and so will have to pay staff extra salary as payment in lieu of notice. All staff must leave at the end of December.
