Payment of Redundancy Rebate

Where an employer pays Redundancy benefit as provided by the Protection of Employment Act, he may submit a claim to the Director of the DSS for a Redundancy Rebate.

The Redundancy Rebate represents an amount refundable to the employer in respect of the amount paid to his employee as Redundancy benefit. The amount currently paid by DSS as Rebate is 10% of the amount payable as Redundancy benefit, or the amount paid by the employer, whichever is less.
