Just wondering, family member being made redundant - got 4 weeks notice (as was entitlement), but only has work for 2 weeks - to this friday.
He has found a new job (there are still some out there), to start next mon. can he technically start a new job if his P. 45 from current employer will have a finish date of 2 weeks time on it?
and will he lose any entitlement to his redundancy as he has another job to go to?? completely different employer.
He will need to fill out a Form RP6. This effectively guillotines the notice period provided for under his Form RP50 (notice of redundancy).
In effect, by filling out the Form RP6, your family member can bring forward their termination date. The notice period set out in the Redundancy Payments Acts is designed to provide a period of time for someone to look for a new job. This provision can be waived by the relevant employee by means of the Form RP6.
Why not speak to the existing employer to see if he could go on Gardening leave (on good faith) if there is no work and still start at the new place. Tax gets a bit messy depending on your band.
he has worked there for over6 years. he has found another job, but his technical finish date would be 14th November per P.45 - so therefore he cannot really start another job as there would be an overlap of prsi contributions....
I suppose I was thinking out loud... got it sorted, redundancy queries section are actually a great help.
If he was made redundant from his job he is entitled to his redundancy.
The fact that he was lucky enough to get another job immediately is a completely seperate issue and has no bearing on the redundancy situation.
As soon as he gets his P45 he passes it on to his new employer.
