Frequently asked questions
Am I entitled to redundancy pay?
Employees who are made redundant after a qualifying period of continuous employment are generally entitled to redundancy pay under the Employment (Termination and Redundancy Payments) Act. The amount depends on your length of service and pay.
What can I do if I think I was unfairly dismissed?
You may be able to bring a complaint to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, which can refer disputes to the Industrial Disputes Tribunal. Time limits apply, so seek advice promptly.
Do you advise employers too?
Yes. We help employers draft contracts and policies, handle disciplinary matters fairly and manage redundancies correctly, which reduces the risk of disputes.
