I am also concerned about section 9 of the Bill, which contains an attempt to protect an employee who has worked abroad for an employer. It would appear that there could be an attempt on the part of an employer to avoid redundancy payment to an employee if he or she was not employed in the State for the two years prior to being made redundant. In other words, an employer could deliberately place an employee abroad for a period of time prior to redundancy, thus placing that employee in a very awkward position, to say the least.
