Common use of Alternative employment for a redundant Employee Clause in Contracts

Alternative employment for a redundant Employee. An employee will not be entitled to redundancy pay under the general redundancy pay prescriptions if the employer obtains acceptable alternative employment for the employee. In the event of a dispute as to whether employment obtained for an employee is acceptable alternative employment for the purposes of this sub-clause and/or whether the employee should receive a lesser amount of redundancy pay than specified in the general redundancy pay prescriptions having regard to alternative employment obtained by the employer for the employee, the dispute will be dealt with in accordance with clause 12 of the Common Clauses of this Agreement (and the issue may be determined by the Disputes Board or the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in accordance with that clause).
