There is a form you fill in where you claim redundancy from government and goverment persues employer.

Check out www.citizensinformation.ie

You don't claim redundancy, it's not a benefit to be claimed. The employer must make the job redundant (not the employee). The employer is under no obligation to make the job redundant.

Read the OP.

Reducing hours CAN make you automatically entitled to some redundancy payment.

If you are entitled to it, and your employer won't pay it, then you can claim it yourself.

Fair enough. I was not aware of that. Sorry if I misinformed.

I thought if your emplyer changed the terms and conditions of your emplyment, you would be entitled to redundancy if you did not want to accept them
