Our shop is closing, I've only been there a few months so I get nowt, but our Saturday lad has been here well over 2 years. He was 14 when he started here, now 16. He works Saturdays and the holidays for a few weeks full time this year.
Is he entitled to any redundancy pay? I don't see why not, but I don't know....
I would guess it's statutory redundancy, which mean's a week's pay per year of service, so I suppose that will mean 2 days pay...
Got to be over 18, but the boss can give him a pile of cash , its his choice,but unlikely.
To be eligible for a redundancy payment under the Acts, you must satisfy the following requirements:[b]•You must be aged 16 or over. (Since 8 May 2007 there is no upper age limit of 66.)[/b]
•You must be in employment that is insurable under the Social Welfare Acts. Full-time employees under the age of 66 must be paying Class A PRSI. (This insurability requirement does not apply to part-time workers - see below.)
[b]•You must have worked continuously for your employer for at least 104 weeks over the age of 16.[/b]
So he neds to be 18, as he needs to have worked for the employer for 2 years full time.
Depends on his contracted hours afaik. Mrs hoppy worked for 7 years at her last place, the last year on 50% hours, redundancy was worked out on contracted hours at the time of redundancy. As a youngster I'd guess he's in a zero hour contract.
Anything on the horizon for you PP ?
Sadly a Saturday boy is entitled to diddly.
