As far as I recall they do something similar in France.
Ah. Thanks. Delete my posts if off topic.The report found that Ireland is one of the few countries in the European Union without a strong link between the level of payment provided to those who have lost their job and the level of earnings in that job, at least for an initial period
To my knowledge in every other country were this provision exists payments are capped by duration and % of salary replaced. In any case this is just a proposal, it will take the govt years to legislate for it and implement it.I bet it will never happen, probably by early next year many tech employees will have been let go. The government will get frightened about revenue coming in and the large payments they will have to make under this proposed new scheme. They will also be afraid that those workers might take the opportunity to have 6 months off before looking for a new job. They will put this whole thing on the long finger, they have a huge welfare bill as it is. They need these tech workers working to pay for it all
While In supportive, I thnk the payment should be stepped back after 3 years, to the lower basic payment by year 5.
Which is too short, imho.JSB lasts for just nine months.
Agreed, it makes sense & is practiced widely across Europe with time boundaries & associated requirements to demonstrate active & constructive job seeking by the applicant. I just don't trust us to not make a bags of it if I'm being blunt.To my mind it makes sense - it has long bugged me that my dad who worked and paid taxes from the age of 15 to 65 gets only a marginally higher contributory pension than someone who has never worked, or just worked in this country for a short period and gets the non contributory pension.
3 years, no way Mr. Earl.While In supportive, I thnk the payment should be stepped back after 3 years, to the lower basic payment by year 5.
What would the justification for 3 years be? Is one year not more than enough time to find a new position?While In supportive, I thnk the payment should be stepped back after 3 years, to the lower basic payment by year 5.
