Managing a redundancy requires a different approach to other forms of termination. There are two main issues that tend to arise:

  1. Whether the dismissal is a ‘genuine redundancy’ as defined by the Fair Work Act 2009
  2. Employees’ entitlement to redundancy pay.

This toolkit provides an overview of redundancy laws and what organisations need to consider for a redundancy to be deemed ‘genuine’.
