The Gazette 1973

196 / 262

(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.
(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.
