    My wife working to small family owned business (pub) from 2006.
    Last weeks when i was filling applications for social welfare she handed one of the forms for her employer to sign.
    then she noticed that employment start marked as 2012/01
    she got reply that 2012 company changed their name and company type to Limited company. i forgot the type that they where before
    They haven't informed any employers of change

    is my wife entitled to any payment?
    What dificulties could she encounter in future?
    I think one of them could be redundancy payment,as i believe it will be counted from 2012 and not 2006

    Changing of entity type would not give her right to redundancy; in fact it has no real effect on her to be honest.

    On this note, I think the OP means that she'll get 6 years of redundancy when she retires. Agree that I doubt the rest would affect her.

    It might be the same company, but a change of name and a change of status (from unlimited to limited) rings alarms. Check www.cro.ie/search and find out what you can. You can get documents by paying a few euros. You may need advice on interpreting some of the documents.

    If it is the same company, which I doubt, there shouldn't be any problems. She should have the details corrected to 2006

    If it is a different company, there has essentially be a 'transfer of undertakings' situation. She should have been notified of all the relevant details.

    Likely no.
    What dificulties could she encounter in future?
    If there was a redundancy situation, then they might try to claim she was only employed since 2012 and might try to reduce their obligations to her.

    If you retire, you don't get redundancy.

    I think I got teh two mixed up, but the 1st paragraph quoted here was what I meant.
