Redundancy calculation and pension

BizAngel · 2011-09-21 19:35:41

I'm trying to figure out whether employer contributions to a PRSA should be included when arriving at the gross weekly pay for the purpose of calculating a redundancy payment? Is it at the discretion of the employer as to whether the pension contribution should be included? Any feedback would be appreciated

In short no, I've been made redundant in the past and it was based on gross pay, not any other contributions employers made that were "Benefits"

Any contribution made by your employer which is taxed as a benefit-in-kind should be included in calculating your gross weekly wage for the purposes of your redundancy pay.

Is the PRSA contribution taxed as a BIK?
