Description
A collective redundancy refers to:
- at least 10 dismissals within 30 days or at least 20 dismissals within 90 days in companies with 20-99 employees.
- In companies employing between 100 and 299 employees, a collective redundancy refers to 10% of the workforce (within 30 days);
- in those with 300 or more employees, the figure is 30 dismissals (within 30 days).
Employers can justify redundancies on the grounds of a reduction in business activity or plant or branch closure.
