The Guide to Redundancy and Termination of Employment is a practical, plain language survey of the issues which employers need to consider when terminating employment, to enable them to manage the risk of unjust dismissal or unlawful dismissal or other claims arising from a termination. Addressed to employers, the Guide provides practical information on processes for managing poor performance and misconduct, and for terminating employment or making positions redundant, and on the calculation of notice and severance payments. It reviews the potential risks employers face, the various unfair dismissal exemptions currently provided by the law, and how these are likely to change during 2009. Includes checklists and links to AIRC forms.
