<p>Employers are required to file an HR1 Form with the Redundancy Payments Service
where they are proposing to dismiss 20 or more employees at a single establishment.
The Redundancy Payments Service is not notified where less than 20 dismissals may
be proposed.</p><p> </p><p>The HR1 Form does not detail actual redundancies made,
only the numbers of dismissals proposed. The HR1 data includes proposed dismissals
due to the restructuring of a solvent/continuing business and proposed dismissals
where the employer is insolvent. A proposal does not necessarily result in all or
any redundancies occurring.</p><p> </p><p>The Redundancy Payments Service is responsible
for processing redundancy payments where actual redundancies result from the insolvency
of an employer or, in a small number of cases, where a solvent employer cannot or
will not pay the statutory redundancy. The number of claims received by the Redundancy
Payments Service in respect of employees of insolvent employers (including a small
number for solvent employers), and total HR1 Forms received from all employers where
there are proposals to dismiss 20 or more employees at an establishment, over the
last 12 months, are set out in the following table:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><em>Month</em></p></td><td><p><em>Number
of individuals claiming redundancy payments from the Redundancy Payments Service</em></p></td><td><p><em>Number
