CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT AND REDUNDANCY PAYMENTS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1965 - SECT 50



50.(1) Where the Ministry is satisfied that, in accordance with any such
arrangements as are mentioned in subsection (2), a payment has been, or will
be, made in respect of the termination of a person's employment in any
capacity under the Government of an overseas territory (in this section
referred to as "the relevant Government"), and that [in respect of the whole
or part of the period during which that person was in that employment,
employers' contributions were paid in respect of him], the Ministry shall pay
the appropriate sum out of the Northern Ireland Redundancy Fund to such fund
or authority as may be designated in that behalf by the relevant Government.

[(1A) The reference in subsection (1) to employers' contributions is

(a)as respects any period before [6th April 1975], to employers' contributions
within the meaning of the National Insurance Act (Northern Ireland) 1966, and

(b)as respects any period beginning on or after that days to secondary Class 1
contributions paid in respect of the person in question by persons who were in
relation to him secondary Class 1 contributors by virtue of [section 4(4)(a)
of the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Act 1975.]]

(2) The arrangements referred to in subsection (1) are any arrangements made
by or on behalf of the relevant Government for securing that payments by way
of compensation for loss of employment in the capacity in question will be
made

(a)in circumstances which in the opinion of the Ministry correspond (subject
to the appropriate modifications) to those in which a right to a redundancy
payment would have accrued if section 11 had applied, and

(b)on a scale which in the opinion of the Ministry corresponds (subject to the
appropriate modifications) to that on which a redundancy payment would have
been payable if that section had applied.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (1) the appropriate sum (subject to
subsection (4)) is the sum appearing to the Ministry to be equal to the amount
of the rebate which would have been payable under Part III if such a right as
is mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) had accrued, and such a
redundancy payment as is mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (2) had been
payable and had been paid.

(4) Where it appears to the Ministry that [ the conditions of subsection (1)
relating to the payment of employers' contributions were satisfied] in respect
of part (but not the whole) of the period of employment in question, the
rebate which would have been payable as mentioned in subsection (3) shall be
calculated as if the employment had been limited to that part of the period.

(5) Any accounts prepared by the Ministry under section 36(2) shall show as a
separate item the aggregate amount of sums paid under subsection (1) during
the period to which the accounts relate.

(6) In this Act "overseas territory" means any territory or country outside
the United Kingdom; and any reference to the Government of an
overseas territory includes a reference to a Government constituted for two or
more overseas territories and to any authority established for the purpose of
providing or administering services which are common to, or relate to matters
of common interest to, two or more such territories.

S.51 amends s.13 of 1964 c.18 (NI)
