Sinn Féin is to table a Bill that seeks to prevent hundreds of thousands of workers currently claiming the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) from losing out on redundancy payments.

The party said the time spent claiming the PUP, which for many people has been a year, should be included in calculating redundancy payment if a worker’s employment is terminated.
