Overview: The Irish Government delayed redundancy claims for those temporarily laid off, or temporarily put on short-time work.
Ordinarily, an employee who is laid off or put on short-time hours can claim redundancy payments from the employer.
Workers will not be able to claim redundancy during the emergency period if you were laid off or put on short-time work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergency period set out in legislation is 13 March 2020 to 31 May 2020. This period may be extended.
