Redundancy Payments Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Bill provides a much better floor than previously existed. Senator White has said that, in a large number of cases, it is a bit like the statutory minimum wage. Employers in general pay their workers far more than the statutory minimum wage. Similarly, most of them will pay more than the statutory redundancy allowance. Nonetheless, it is important to have a more realistic floor than exists at the moment.
