Hi POC, she's fairly sure she would have taken a refund ....just not 100% sure

Thanks POC - please see responses in this pen

Hi Early Riser - first of all thank you very very much - this is really helpful. I was away myself for a few days so only getting to respond now. Please see responses in this pen.

Thanks very much ER - really appreciate that

Thanks Early Riser - responses in bold below: Has she been a member of the pension scheme for all of her working time with this organisation? - YES Has she already "bought back" any of the time she hasn't been? No Has she worked any time unpensioned ? She would have worked with private...

Thanks Slim - she's definitely under HSE - apparently it's the NHASS (Nominated Health Agencies Superannuation Scheme)

Mrs O'Leary works part time for charitable organisation and is paid by the HSE - salary is c. €25k. She's 59 next birthday and has about 20 years service (all part time) - I'm wondering a) if she can "buy back years" to increase her pension / retire early b) any idea of how much pension she...

Thanks very much Joe - this has been very helpful. One last question - is top slicing relief still around these days in the event someone does not work in the year or so following redundancy? Sounds like the exposure to tax & USC would be 71k @ 40% and 8% USC so might be nice to get some of that...

Thank you very much guys, this is very enlightening. A couple of points based on you rcomments: Yes this is a DC scheme Yes the 5 weeks includes statutory The 500k is mostly made up of current employment ie. 18 years but also includes about 50k from previous employment (7 year prior to...

Thanks gents that certainly takes some of the mystery out of it. So, in a case of a company offering 5 weeks per year of service with the profile I outlined in the original post it looks like the redundancy would be something like this?: 90k with 18 yrs @ 5 weeks per year = €155,769...

I've been around a long time and have seen many many redundancy situations over the years and for all of that I've never heard anyone acutally be able to explain how SCSB works. I always hear "it depends on this and depends on that" or else "it can be interpreted quite liberally or quite...

Thanks Monbretia....she should be able to meet the criteria for the balance outstanding Huskerdu - it's not tenants in common - we agreed to purchase on a 75/25 basis with me being the greater. We also agreed that we would review it after 3 years to see if was working out for her / if she...

I was talking to a mortgage advisor yesterday in relation to financing an investment property I'm looking at. I already have a buy to let with a smallish mortgage on it, I also have a smallish mortgage on my own home. In addition to these about 2.5 years ago I invested 110k into a house with...

My son, joined a fairly well know Irish company around 2012 and in 2013 it seems he was granted 15,000 B ordinary shares. The document he signed stated that they will vest and become exercisable subject to certain conditions including: no option shall be exercisable more than 7 years after the...

absolutely......by either the employee or the manager

Fully agree Leo and just to clarify - no employee has made a complaint against me, quite the opposite in fact. I wanted to get a copy of witness (employee) statements because what was made available we very short extracts from the investigators report and from talking with employees they tell...

I understand where you are coming from Gerry but sadly it wouldn't get anywhere in this mothership. Thanks all the same.

I don't agree Purple, if an employee was not working shift but submitted a form indicating they had surely that's a disciplinary issue? This is not the case here but I'm making the point that if the investigation determines that the manager approved a payment that was not warranted, surely by...
