CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT AND REDUNDANCY PAYMENTS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1965 - SECT 24

Exclusion or reduction of redundancy payment on account of pension rights.

24.(1) The Ministry shall by regulations make provision for excluding the
right to a redundancy payment, or reducing the amount of any redundancy
payment, in such cases as may be prescribed by the regulations, being cases in
which an employee has (whether by virtue of any statutory provision or
otherwise) a right or claim (whether legally enforceable or not) to a
periodical payment or lump sum by way of pension, gratuity or superannuation
allowance which is to be paid by reference to his employment by a particular
employer and is to be paid, or to begin to be paid, at the time when he leaves
that employment or within such period thereafter as may be prescribed by the
regulations.

(2) Provision shall be made by any such regulations for securing that the
right to a redundancy payment shall not be excluded, and that the amount of a
redundancy payment payment shall not be reduced, by reason of any right or
claim to a periodical payment or lump sum, in so far as that payment or lump
sum represents such compensation as is mentioned in section 53(1) and is
payable under a statutory provision, whether made or passed before, on or
after the appointed day.

(3) In relation to any case where, under any provision contained in this Part,
a tribunal determines that an employer is liable to pay part (but not the
whole) of a redundancy payment, any reference in this section to a redundancy
payment, or to the amount of a redundancy payment, shall be construed as a
reference to that part of the redundancy payment, or to the amount of that
part, as the case may be.
