About the consultation

The purpose of the Insolvency Payments Scheme White Paper is to seek responses via public consultation on proposals from the Social Security Minister to introduce a statutory insolvency scheme. The scheme is intended to ensure that employees of insolvent businesses receive compensation based upon a reasonable proportion of the monies owed to them by their former employer (including unpaid wages, holiday pay, statutory notice pay, and statutory redundancy payments).
