Section 12 of the Protection of Employment Act 1977 provides that employers proposing a collective redundancy must notify the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment of the proposed collective redundancy.
Collective redundancies arise where, during any period of 30 consecutive days, the employees being made redundant are:
- 5 employees where 21-49 are employed,
- 10 employees where 50-99 are employed,
- 10% of the employees where 100-299 are employed,
- 30 employees where 300 or more are employed.
The number of notifications in 2023 which specified potential redundancies in the area mentioned is as follows:
No. of notifications | No. of potential redundancies notified |
---|---|
3 | 44 |
