Common use of Redundancy Process Clause in Contracts

Redundancy Process. The Parties agree that the ultimate objective is to circumvent or at least minimise redundancies.

Where there is an oversubscription, longest serving employees will be selected first; (c) If the receiving Port can accommodate the transferee without the need for redundancy, the transfer will occur. A redundancy may be required to be offered to Employees in the destination port to facilitate the transfer; (d) In the event of insufficient volunteers for redundancies, the parties agree to explore all available mechanisms to mitigate redundancies and those mechanisms agreed may be implemented subject to agreement by the majority of employees. Agreed mechanisms may include but are not limited to reduced hours and salary/VSE Minimum Salary, leave plans and roster changes; (e) Employees who are identified for compulsory redundancy may opt to be re-employed to the next employment category where it can be accommodated; (f) Where positions become available, the positions will be filled by employees in the reverse order they were demoted provided they have the skills; (g) After all the above has been exhausted and there is still a requirement for compulsory redundancies, employees declared redundant will be progressively released.
