PROTECTION OF EMPLOYEES (EMPLOYERS' INSOLVENCY) ACTS 1984 TO 2006 Issued October 2011 This Guide and the relevant forms are available from the Department of Social Protection Website at 'www.welfare.ie'. The Guide is a general guide to the Insolvency Payments Scheme. It is not intended to be a legal interpretation of the legislation. Further information on the Scheme is available from the Insolvency Payments Section, of the Department of Social Protection, LO Call 1890 800 699. The original 1984 Act under which the Scheme operates has been amended on a number of occasions by various other pieces of legislation and, with these amendments, is known collectively as the Protection of Employees (Employers' Insolvency) Acts 1984 to 2006. Where reference is made in this Guide to the Protection of Employees (Employers' Insolvency) Act 1984 (or the 1984 Act), or to other legislation, the reference applies to the legislation as amended by any subsequent legislation. Copies of the 1984 Act and other legislation referred to are available from the Government Publications Sales Office, Sun Alliance House, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. The Insolvency Payments Scheme The purpose of the Insolvency Payments Scheme is to protect pay-related entitlements owed to employees who lose their employment because of the insolvency of an employer. These include arrears of pay, holiday pay, pay in lieu of statutory notice, and other entitlements. Certain contributions to occupational pension schemes or PRSAs are also covered. Payments under the Scheme are made from the Social Insurance Fund. Employees Covered by the Scheme The Scheme covers employees who are employed in employment which is insurable for all benefits under social welfare legislation, or in employment that would be insurable for all benefits but for the fact that they have reached 66 years of age. It also covers certain employees exempted under social welfare legislation. Insolvency for the Purpose of the Scheme The circumstances and date of insolvency for the purposes of the Scheme are set out in the Protection of Employees (Employers' Insolvency) Act 1984.

Application for Entitlements under the Insolvency Payments Scheme ALL APPLICATIONS FOR ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE INSOLVENCY PAYMENTS SCHEME MUST BE MADE BY THE EMPLOYER REPRESENTATIVE AND SUBMITTED ON-LINE. An application for Outstanding Wages, Sick Pay, Holiday Pay or Minimum Notice Entitlements should be made, certified and submitted on Form IP1. An application for any other Entitlement under the Scheme (apart from Pension Scheme Contributions) should be made, certified and submitted on Form IP2. The Employer Representative should examine the claim(s) and certify the amount owed to the employee in accordance with the company records. Once submitted the Form should be printed, signed (original signatures only) and forwarded to the Insolvency Payments Section for processing. Applications made on Form IP1 and Form IP2 should be accompanied by Notice of Appointment of Liquidator/Receiver and a copy of the Statement of Affairs where available. An application for payment of outstanding Pension/PRSA Contributions should be made on Forms 1P3 and IP3 Employee Schedule. Pension Details should be completed by a Person competent to act in respect of the Pension Scheme/PRSA e.g. Trustee/Administrator etc. The Actuarial Certificate is required for Defined Benefit Pension Schemes. Once submitted the Form, including the IP3 Schedule, should be printed, signed ( original signatures only) and forwarded to the Insolvency Payments Section for Processing. Applications for Payment of Unpaid Pension Contributions should be accompanied by Notice of Appointment of Liquidator/Receiver and Statement of Affairs (unless previously submitted). In addition the Trust Deed and Deed of Adherence should be submitted with the application. Please ensure that All documentation accompanying an application contains the Employer PAYE number. This PAYE number must be clearly stated on the front page of each document submitted. AN APPLICATION IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL THE PRINTED, SIGNED FORM, ALONG WITH THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY THIS OFFICE. MODIFIED OR UNSIGNED FORMS WILL BE RETURNED AND WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. Limits and Conditions on Payments There is a current limit of €600 per week on any amount payable under the Scheme which may be calculated by reference to an employee's pay. This limit is revised periodically. Arrears of normal pay, deductions for union dues, etc., sick pay, holiday pay and pay in lieu of statutory notice are limited to a maximum of eight weeks and may relate only to the period of eighteen months prior to the date of insolvency in most cases. Where an award has been made to an employee – for example, in respect of an unfair dismissal – the eighteen-month period normally applies to the date of the award, determinations, order, decision, etc. An award may also have a date that is later than the date of insolvency. The amount payable for damages at common law awarded by a civil court for wrongful dismissal is subject to a maximum of 104 weeks' wages. Payments from the Social Insurance Fund and Deductions by Employer's Representative. Payments from the Social Insurance Fund are made through the employer's representative (except in certain exceptional situations). The Employer's Representative makes the relevant statutory deductions from these payments and forwards them to the appropriate body. The Employers Representative is required to notify the insolvency Payments section when these payments have been made; this notification should detail any deductions made. Transfer of Employees' Rights and Remedies to the Minister for Social Protection (Preferential Payments) Where a payment is made from the Social Insurance Fund in respect of any debt payable to an employee, or any amount paid into an occupational pension scheme or PRSA, the Minister for Social Protection becomes a creditor against the assets of the employer in respect of the amounts paid, subject to statutory limits. Under section 10 of the 1984 Act, any preferential claim by the Minister against the assets of an insolvent employer ranks as priority over any other preferential claim of the employee concerned. Arrears of Pension or PRSA Contributions The Insolvency Payments Scheme covers contributions which the employer and/or the employee were liable to pay into an occupational pension scheme or PRSA in respect of the year up to the date of insolvency of the employer. In the case of contributions payable on behalf of an employee, payment can be made under the Insolvency Payments Scheme only where the amount of the contributions was deducted from the pay of the employee but was not paid into the pension scheme. In the case of contributions payable on an employer's own account, the lower of the following amounts is payable, the balance of the employer's contributions remaining unpaid in respect of the period of twelve months immediately preceding the date of the employer's insolvency, Or the amount certified by an actuary (or equivalent, if the employer is insolvent under the legislation of another EU Member State) to be necessary for the purpose of meeting the liability of a pension scheme on dissolution to pay the benefits provided by the scheme to or in respect of the employees concerned. If the cost of sickness, disability benefit or life assurance forms part of the contributions to an occupational pension scheme or PRSA, the amount of contributions attributable to this should be deducted from the application. Appeals to the Employment Appeals Tribunal - What may be Appealed and Time Limits Any person who has applied for a payment under the Scheme in respect of arrears of pay, sick pay, holiday pay or outstanding occupational pension scheme or PRSA contributions may appeal to the Employment Appeals Tribunal on the grounds that the payment made was less than the amount that should have been paid, or the application has been refused. Appeals should be made to the Tribunal within six weeks of the notification of the decision to the applicant. The Tribunal, at its discretion, may extend the period for making an appeal in certain circumstances. The Department itself may refer a claim to the Employment Appeals Tribunal for a decision where there is a doubt as to whether a claim or part of a claim is allowable. A decision of the Tribunal on any matter referred to it under the Act is final and conclusive, but a person dissatisfied with the decision may refer a decision to the High Court on a question of law only. Payment of Fees to Employers' Representatives The Department will pay fees from the Social Insurance Fund to the employers' representatives on a per capita basis for each employee whose claim is processed. Details are available from the Insolvency Payments Section of the Department. Right to Refuse an Application in Cases of Agreement between an Applicant and an Employer If, in processing a claim, the Department becomes aware that the employer had the means to pay all or part of the debt, but there was an agreement between the employee and the employer concerned that the whole or any part of the debt would be claimed under the Scheme, no payment will be made. Production of Records in Connection with an Application Under section 8 of the 1984 Act, an employer, employer's representative or any other person having control of records of holidays, wages or any document that may reasonably be considered to be relevant to an application may be required to produce these for examination. Offences Forms used under the Act are statutory forms. Proceedings may be taken against any person who, in relation to a claim/application under the Act, makes a false statement or produces or furnishes false documentation or refuses or neglects to provide required information. Appendix Calculation of Normal Weekly Remuneration Time Workers Section 6(9) of the Protection of Employees (Employers' Insolvency) Act, 1984 defines "normal weekly remuneration" as having the same meaning assigned to it as in Schedule 3 to the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 to 2003. Normal weekly remuneration therefore means an employee's earnings for a normal working week, including any regular bonus or allowance that does not vary in relation to the amount of work done. Also, any payment in kind normally received by an employee, e.g., free accommodation, free meals, etc., must be taken into account. Overtime In the case of outstanding overtime payments due to an employee on the termination of employment, an employee may claim (subject to the limits outlined below) either the actual overtime earned but not paid or the average weekly overtime due, whichever is the lower amount. Average weekly overtime should be calculated by ascertaining the total amount of overtime earnings in the period of 26 weeks which ended 13 weeks before the date of termination of the employee's employment and dividing that amount by 26. This figure should then be multiplied by the number of weeks for which overtime is outstanding and compared with the amount actually owed for overtime to determine the lower amount. Where normal weekly remuneration and overtime are outstanding for the same period, the amounts outstanding for each week should be combined and the total number of weeks payable may not exceed 8. The total weekly normal pay plus overtime payable under the Scheme may not exceed the weekly limit on remuneration (currently €600 per week). Piece Workers Normal weekly remuneration for an employee who is paid in proportion to the amount of work carried out (e.g., if paid wholly or partly by piece-rates, bonuses or commissions related to output) will be taken to be the pay received for normal weekly working hours at a specially calculated rate. This rate is calculated as follows: - - The total number of hours worked by the employee in the 26-week period ending 13 weeks before the date on which the employee's employment was terminated is calculated first. Weeks worked with different employers will be taken into account if the change of employer did not affect the continuity of employment. Any week or weeks during the 26-week period in which the employee did not work will not be taken into account and the most recent week or weeks, counting backwards from the 26-week period, will be taken into account instead. - The pay to be taken into account is the amount due for all the hours worked during the 26 week period mentioned at (a), adjusted in respect of any variations in the rate of pay which became operative during the 13 weeks before the employee's employment was terminated. - The employee's average hourly rate of pay is ascertained by dividing the total pay as at (b) by the total hours as at (a). The weekly pay is then calculated by multiplying this average hourly rate by the number of normal weekly working hours of the employee concerned at the date on which employment was terminated. Employees with No Normal Working Hours Employees who have no 'normal' working hours should calculate their average pay, including bonuses, etc., over the last 52 weeks worked to determine their normal weekly wage. Shift Workers Shift workers' normal pay should be calculated in the same way as piece-workers' pay.

Réamhrá Nuair a chailltear post de bharr cúinsí mar dúnadh gnó nó laghdú a theacht ar líon na foirne cuirtear síos ar seo mar iomarcaíocht. Tugann na hAchtanna um Íocaíochtaí Iomarcaíochta 1967–2014 le fios go bhfuil fostaithe a bhfuil tréimhse socraithe seirbhíse caite acu i dteideal íocaíocht iomarcaíochta. Ní bhíonn gach fostaí i dteideal na híocaíochta iomarcaíochta reachtúla, fiú nuair a bhíonn cás iomarcaíochta i gceist. Má tá tú incháilithe le haghaidh iomarcaíochta tá nósanna iomarcaíochta ann a gcaithfidh fostóirí agus fostaithe cloí leo chun a bheith ar aon dul leis an reachtaíocht. Is féidir leatsa teacht ar chomhaontú áfach le do fhostóir maidir le híocaíocht iomarcaíochta sa bhreis ar an íosmhéid reachtúil, sa chás seo is féidir le fostaithe eile nach bhfuil an íostréimhse seirbhíse caite acu íocaíocht a ghabháil chomh maith. Mar shampla, ní thagann iomarcaíocht reachtúil i bhfeidhm ach amháin i gcás fostaí a bhfuil seirbhís dhá bhliana déanta aige/aici. D'fhéadfadh áfach, go dtabharfadh fostóir cnapshuim do fhostaithe nach bhfuil seirbhís dhá bhliana déanta acu. Tiocfaidh an íocaíocht seo i gceist de bharr comhaontaithe seachas de bharr na reachtaíochta. Mar is gnách le dlí fostaíochta, ní dhéanann an reachtaíocht ach na híoschearta a chur i bhfeidhm, tig leis na páirtithe féin teacht ar chomhaontú maidir le cearta níos substaintiúla. Cealú lacáiste an fhostóra: Ní íocfar aon lacáiste fostóra le haghaidh iomarcaíochta reachtúil i gcás go mbristear duine as post ar chúis iomarcaíochta ar an 1 Eanáir 2013 nó dá éis. Rialacha Íocaíocht chnapshuime bunaithe ar phá an fostaí is ea an íocaíocht reachtúil iomarcaíochta. Tá gach fostaí incháilithe i dteideal - Pá 2 sheachtaine ar son gach bliain seirbhíse os cionn 16 bliain d'aois, agus - Pá seachtaine breise Tá an íocaíocht chnapshuime bunaithe faoi réir uasteorainn phá €600 sa tseachtain (€31,200 sa bhliain). Pá ná ghnáthphá seachtaine, meánragobair rialta agus sochair comhchineáil san áireamh, roimh asbhaintí cánach agus ÁSPC, sé sin do phá comhlán. Bíonn an íocaíocht reachtúil iomarcaíochta saor ó cháin. Seirbhís inríofa agus neamhinríofa Beidh neamhláithreachtaí ó obair le linn na trí bliana deireanacha amháin san áireamh i ngach iomarcaíocht a fógraíodh i ndiaidh 10 Aibreán 2005. Ní cuirfear aon neamhláithreacht san áireamh a tharla taobh amuigh den tréimhse trí bliana suas go dtí an dáta ar briseadh an duine as a p(h)ost. Agus tú ag áireamh fad do sheirbhíse le haghaidh íocaíocht iomarcaíochta, cuirfear na tréimhsí seo a leanas san áireamh, (tugtar asláithreachtaí inríofa ar na hasláithreachtaí seo): - Aon tréimhse lena linn a raibh tú ag obair - Aon tréimhse neamhláithreacht oibre be bharr saoire - Aon tréimhse neamhláithreacht oibre de bharr tinnis (féach thíos tréimhsí tinnis nach bhfuil inríofa) - Aon tréimhse a raibh tú saor ó obair agus an fostóir aontaithe leis seo (sos gairme de ghnáth) - Aon tréimhse bhunshaoire mháithreachais agus saoire mháithreachais bhreise atá ceadaithe ag an reachtaíocht - Aon tréimhse a raibh tú ar bhunshaoire uchtála/tuismitheora/cúramóra - Aon tréimhse a raibh tú frithdhúnta ó do chuid oibre - Aon tréimhse a bhfuil leanúnachas do chuid fostaíochta caomnaithe ag Na hAchtanna um Dhífhostú Eagórach. Agus ag áireamh fad do sheirbhíse, ní tabharfar san áireamh na tréimhsí seo a leanas mar sheirbhís le linn na 3 bliana deireanacha (asláithreachtaí neamhinríofa a dtugtar orthu seo): - Aon tréimhse thar 52 sheachtain leantach a raibh tú saor ó obair de bharr gortaithe a tharla agus tú ag obair - Aon tréimhse thar 26 seachtainí leantach a raibh tú saor ó obair de bharr tinnis - Aon tréimhse stailce - Aon tréimhse leagan as foirne. Tig leat an táireamhán iomarcaíochta ar líne seo a úsáid chun do theidlíocht a áireamh le haghaidh iomarcaíochta reachtúla. Tabhair faoi deara nach dtugann an táireamhán iomarcaíochta ar líne aon teidlíocht maidir le méid na hiomarcaíochta reachtúla. Uaireanta laghdaithe agus obair gearr-ama Má rinneadh tú iomarcach laistigh de bhliain amháin ón am a cuireadh ar uaireanta nó pá laghdaithe tú, bheadh d’íocaíocht iomarcaíochta bunaithe ar do thuilleamh do sheachtain iomlán. Má dhéantar iomarcach tú tar éis duit uaireanta laghdaithe a oibriú do thréimhse níos mó ná bliain amháin, beidh an dóigh a ndéantar d’íocaíocht a ríomh ag brath ar cé acu ar ghlac tú nó nár ghlac tú le huaireanta laghdaithe. Más rud é gur ghlac tú go hiomlán le huaireanta oibre laghdaithe mar do sheachtain normálta agus níor iarr tú filleadh go hobair lánaimseartha, mar sin beidh d’íocaíocht bunaithe ar do phá comhlán le haghaidh na n-uaireanta laghdaithe. Más rud é, ar an taobh eile de, nár ghlac tú riamh leis na huaireanta oibre laghdaithe mar chuid de d’uaireanta normálta agus gur iarr tú ar bhonn leanúnach le bheith curtha ar ais ar obair lánaimseartha, beidh d’íocaíocht bunaithe ar do thuilleamh do sheachtain iomlán. D’fhéadfadh d'íocaíocht iomarcaíochta a bheith bunaithe ar phá seachtaine iomláine má cuireadh ar obair ghearr-ama thú agus má rinneadh iomarcach thú ina dhiaidh sin. Má bhíonn conspóid agat le d’fhostóir faoi seo is féidir leat éileamh a dhéanamh leis an gCoimisiún um Chaidreamh san Áit Oibre. Cánachas cnapshuimeanna Má fhaigheann tú cnapshuim mar chúiteamh ar chailleadh fostaíochta, d'fhéadfadh cuid de a bheith saor ó cháin. Bíonn an chnapshuim íocaíocht iomarcaíochta reachtúil saor ó cháin i gcónaí. Léigh tuilleadh mar gheall ar chánachas cnapshuimeanna iomarcaíochta/scoir anseo. Breathnaigh ar dhuillín na gCoimisinéirí Ioncaim a phléann cánachas agus iomarcaíocht anseo. Dócmhainneacht fostóra Is faoin bhfostóir atá sé ar an gcéad ásc an íocaíocht cnapshuime iomarcaíochta reachtúil a íoc le gach aon fostaí incháilithe. Muna bhfuil an fostóir in ann íoc nó má dhiúltaíonn siad íoc, is féidir leis an fostaí iarratas ar íocaíocht ón gCiste an Árachais Sóisialta a dhéanamh - féach 'Conas iarratas a dhéanamh' thíos. Agus deireadh tagtha le do chuid fostaíochta de bharr dócmhainneacht do fhostóra tiocfaidh reachtaíocht i bhfeidhm maidir le teidlíocht amuigh maidir le do phá. De réir Scéime na n-Íocaíochtaí Dócmhainneachta is féidir leis an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí iad seo a íoc as Chiste an Árachais Sóisialta. Léigh 'Tuilleadh faisnéise' thíos mar gheall ar an reachtaíocht a bhaineann le dócmhainneacht fostóra. Rataí Ó 1 Eanáir 2005 ar aghaidh an t-uasmhéid tuillimh a bheidh le háireamh i gcóir cnapshuimeanna reachtúil iomarcaíochta ná €600 in aghaidh na seachtaine (€31,200 in aghaidh na bliana).

Faoi réir theorainneacha agus choinníollacha áirithe (na teorainneacha ama reachtúla san áireamh), féadann an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí airgead atá dlite le fostaithe i raon cásanna a íoc as an gCiste Árachais Shóisialaigh. San áireamh ar na cásanna inar féidir leis an Roinn íoc as an gciste seo tá cúinsí ina bhfuil airgead dlite mar thoradh ar: - Riaráistí pá (lena n-áirítear riaráistí pá atá dlite faoi Ordú Rialaithe Fostaíochta) - Pá saoire agus breoiteachta - Teidlíochtaí faoin reachtaíocht maidir le fógra íostréimhse agus téarmaí fostaíochta, comhionannas fostaíochta agus dífhostú éagórach - Orduithe cúirte maidir le tuarastal, pá saoire nó damáistí faoin dlí coiteann de bharr dhífhostú éagórach.

Is féidir ranníocaíochtaí nach bhfuil íoctha le scéim pinsean gairme ar chuntas an fhostóra féin a íoc ón gCiste chomh maith, faoi réir theorainneacha áirithe.

Clúdaíonn an Scéim fostaithe atá os cionn 16 bliana d’aois agus atá i bhfostaíocht atá inárachais do na sochair uile faoi na hAchtanna Leasa Shóisialaigh agus cuimsíonn sé daoine os cionn 66 bliana d’aois atá i bhfostaíocht a bheadh, mura mbeadh siad an aois sin, inárachais do na sochair uile faoi na hAchtanna Leasa Shóisialaigh. Ba chóir d’fhostaithe íocaíocht na dteidlíochtaí gan íoc a éileamh ó ionadaí an fhostóra (an leachtaitheoir nó glacadóir de ghnáth). Is féidir l'ionadaí an fhostóra iarratas dócmhainneachta ar líne a dhéanamh.
