P. 53
REDUNDANCY POLICY
1. Should circumstances arise where redundancy is seen to be a possibility the Company will
ensure it complies with relevant legislation and look where possible to
a. reduce overtime to a workable minimum; and
b. investigate measures, such as short-time working, reduced working week and/or lay off
(without pay), as a means of avoiding redundancies.
2. If redundancies cannot be avoided, consideration may be given to applications for voluntary
redundancy, where appropriate. It may not be possible to accept every application for voluntary
redundancies depending on the requirements of the business. If the selection of employees for
redundancy becomes necessary, any criteria for selection will be discussed with you at the time
where possible. At all times the overriding consideration will be the future viability of the
business and we reserve the right to deviate from this policy where deemed necessary.
