Section 5 provides for the amendment of section 4 of the principal Act, which deals with the insurability of an employee. The purpose of amending this section is to add clarity to the insurability requirements in line with the Social Welfare Acts and the Protection of Employees (Part-time Work) Act 2001. Section 6 provides for the amendment of section 7(2) of the principal Act. The Employment Appeals Tribunal, when dealing with redundancy cases, has long been of the view that redundancy is impersonal. According to the tribunal, in St. Ledger v. Frontline Distributors Ltd., UD56/94, the statutory definition of "redundancy" has two important characteristics, namely "impersonality" and "change". This section is designed to provide certainty in this regard.
