Printed from www.survivingredundancy.ie Copyright © 2012
Use the Department's Online System for all steps including giving notice
- It produces a printed copy of the Notice
- It calculates the correct amount of the statutory redundancy payment
- It submits the claim online
- The rebate is processed faster than a manually submitted claim
Stage 1 Issue notice to the employee using Part (A) of Form RP 50
Stage 2 On the date of termination(or just before), complete Part(B) of From RP 50
online
Stage 3 On the date of termination, give the completed form and payment to the
employee
Stage 4 Claim a rebate from the Department
Stage 1 Issue notice to employee
Click on Online System
Select Source: Employer, Click Next
Step 1 Click on Next to Create a New Claim
Step 2 Fill in the Employer's Details and Click Next
The "Payee" is the company applying for the rebate, not the employee
Step 3 Fill in the Employee's details - Do not Click Next
Click on Save to my Computer
You will get a pop-up message telling you to delete this as soon as possible. Don't delete it as you will use the information when
completing Part (B) on the date of termination.
This saves a PDF of Part(A) onto your desktop called, helpfully, "parta.pdf"
You wont' get any option to save it anywhere else e.g. in a confidential folder. You won't get an option to save it under a meaningful name.
For convenience and security Save a copy of it somewhere else under a meaningful name ( File, Save a Copy).
Print off the PDF.
( Click on File, Print, Current Page, to save printing out the instructions )
Ignore the box Administrator Details.
Ignore Part(B)of the form at this stage.
Sign Part(A) in the middle of the page (not at the end) and give it to your employee.
The employee does not need to sign anywhere at this stage.
You have now given formal notice of redundancy to your employee.
Stage 2 - On Date of Termination Complete Part (B) of the form online
Click on the online form again
Select Source: Employer, Click Next

Tick Employment Address if the employee works at this address. If they
work at a different location, fill in the address of that location.
Most employees are PRSI Class A - check your payroll records.
Click Next
Step 5 Calculates the amount of the redundancy payment for you
Review the details and calculations
Clicking Next at the end of Step 5 actually submits the claim online to the Department.
This is not obvious and you get no message to tell you that this is the formal submission being made.
Step 6 Print Claim Form
( Click on File, Print, Current Page, 3 copies to save printing out the
instructions three times)
Click on: New Employee Claim if you are making a second employee redundant
