A collective redundancy situation arises where redundancy-based dismissals are effected by the same employer within a 30 day period, subject to the following threshold requirements:
|
Workforce |
No. of dismissals |
|
21 to 49 |
5 or higher |
|
50 to 99 |
10 or higher |
|
100 - 299 |
10% or higher |
|
300 or higher |
30 or higher |
A collective redundancy situation will not be triggered if the employer staggers the redundancies so that the threshold is not met within any one period of 30 consecutive days.
