Article 2 - Collective Redundancies (Protection of Employment) Regulations, 2002 as amended by L.N. 428 of 2002 as amended by L.N. 427 of 2004; LN 442 of 2004; L.N. 281 of 2017
Description
'Collective redundancy' in the Collective Redundancies (Protection of Employment) Regulations is defined as the termination of the employment by an employer on grounds of redundancy, over a period of 30 days, of:
- 10 or more employees in establishments normally employing more than 20 employees but less than 100 employees;
- 10% or more of the number of employees in establishments employing 100 or more but less than 300 employees; and
- 30 employees or more in establishments employing 30 employees or more.
Any planned collective redundancies shall only take effect 30 days after the employer notifies the Director General responsible for Employment and Industrial Relations (the national competent authority) and the employee representatives of the said redundancies, unless a shorter period of notification is granted by the Director General in exceptional circumstances. The Director General for Employment and Industrial Relations may also extend the period by a further 30 days. This extension is granted if the Director General considers that it would help the parties involved to find a solution that would be beneficial to the employees planned to be dismissed.
