Common use of Voluntary Redundancies Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Redundancies. Where it is determined that redundancy will occur, the Employer will call for voluntary redundancy in the first instance. The Employer has discretion to accept or reject any application based on retaining the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to remain competitive. However, in applying such a right, the Employer recognizes the benefit of voluntary separation, rather than compulsory redundancies. The Employer will select the employees to be made redundant and those employees to be retained based on an assessment of the skills, knowledge and experience of employees in line with the future needs of the Employer. If there are insufficient nominees for a voluntary redundancy or those who nominate will disadvantage the competitiveness of the Employer through loss of skills, knowledge and experience should they leave, the Employer will consider other options and retain the discretion to make alternative employees redundant in line with the future needs of the Employer and the criteria contained in this clause.
