Administrative / biographical background

The Redundancy Payments Act 1965 required employers to make lump sum payments to employees dismissed because of redundancy and in certain circumstances to those laid off or kept on short-time for a substantial period. Employers making such payments claimed a partial rebate from a Redundancy Fund financed by contributions from all employers as part of the flat rate National Insurance contribution. Various questions about entitlement to payment or about claims for rebate were referred to the industrial tribunals by employees, employers or by the Secretary of State for Employment who had responsibility for the control and management of the Redundancy Fund.
