Redundancy Claim Process

If you have been made redundant through the insolvency of your Employer, you may be eligible to claim money from the Government. To claim for redundancy monies owed, including  arrears of wages and unpaid holiday pay, you need to use the Redundancy Payment Service, RPS.

You can claim from the Redundancy Payments Service if all of the following apply:

  1. You are an employee of the insolvent company (as opposed to a contractor). Click here to clarify your employment status. 
  2. Your employer is formally insolvent or is in the process of entering into formal insolvency.
  3. You have any unpaid wages, holiday pay, redundancy or notice pay. 

The RPS asks lots of questions. The process is fairly straight-forward, but it helps to have the information you need to hand.
