(2) When there was a dismissal at the time of the change, and the change took place before the Act came into force, the employee can never qualify for redundancy. (3) If the change-over, accompanied by dismissal takes place after the Act comes into force, if the em- ployee accepts reemployment, his continuity is preserved. If he refuses, he can claim redundancy from his old employer, if his refusal to work for the new employer is deemed unreasonable. A Lay o f f under Section II occurs if it is reasonable for the employer to believe that the cessation of work will not be permanent, and that the employer gives notice to this effect to the employee before ter- minating; there is thus no time limit for bringing a redundancy claim in the event of a lay-off. Short time is defined in Section 12 as occuring where the employee's renumeration is out to less than half or where the hours of work are cut to less than half. Many miscellanious points which arose from the Redundancy Payments procedure were stressed. As usual, the members who attended, spent a most enjoyable week-end. O'Donovan, Martina O'Gorman. Thomas J.

(2) When an employee can no longer carry on his specific work due to falling off. (3) When the employer decides to carry on the work with fewer employees. (4) If the employer decides that the specific work of an employee is to be done in a different manner. (5) If the employer decides that the specific work can be done by another better qualified employer. Section 7 of the 1967 Act lays down that, in order to be entitled to a redundancy payment, the employee must have been employed for a continuous period of 104 weeks, and that the employee was insurable and entitled to all benefits under the Social Welfare Acts. Employment shall be taken to be continuous unless terminated by dismissal, or by voluntary leaving. White collar workers are not entitled to redundancy payments. There are special provisions ensuring continuity in case change-over occurs : (1) Where the change-over was uneventful, an em- ployee can claim for his whole service, before and after the change-overs, if at any time subsequently he becomes redundant, and whether the change- over was before or after the 1967 Act.
