Where
Am I - What is
Redundancy?
|
|
Redundancy means:
If you dismissed because of redundancy, this usually means that your
employer has needed to reduce his or her workforce. This may either
be because the place where you work is closing down, or because there
is longer the need (or no longer expected to be the need) to carry out
the particular kind of work that you do. Normally your job must have
disappeared. It is not a plausible redundancy if your employer immediately
takes on a direct replacement for you. It does not matter, however,
if your employer is recruiting more workers for work of a different
kind, or in another location (unless you were required by contract to
move to the new location). The definition of redundancy therefore covers
3 basic situations:-
- Where the employer ceases to carrying on business (other than involving
a transfer of an undertaking) on a permanent or temporary basis;
- Where the employer ceases business in the place where the employee
is employed;
- Where the employer's business no longer requires any employees
or as many employees to do a particular kind of work (whether generally
or in the place where the employee was employed).
If you are dismissed because of a need to reduce the work force, and
one of the remaining employees moves into your job, you will still qualify
for a redundancy payment so long as no vacancy exists in the area (type
of work and location) where you worked.
