The Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) Procedures Regulations 2011 came into force on 30 September 2011. The regulations set out the procedures for making claims in relation to redundancy and pension payments from the Social Insurance Fund when an employer is insolvent. These claims must be made to a relevant person or officer appointed by the Minister for Social Protection. If a relevant person has not been appointed by the Minister then the claims may be sent to the Secretary General of the Department of Social Protection. Any payments to be made under this legislation will be made to the relevant person appointed. They will then make the payment to the claimant unless there are particular reasons for the Department of Social Protection to make the payment directly to the claimant. The regulations also revoke the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2005.
