Redundancy 21.1 Subject to the following procedure, it is agreed that it is the Employer’s prerogative to determine the order of selection of Employees for employment or retrenchment. 21.2 All relevant legislation governing unfair dismissal, discrimination etc. will be observed. 21.3 Voluntary terminations will be encouraged as a first step. 21.4 The seniority of Employees - within classifications, experience or skills held - will be observed by the Employer in selecting Employees for retrenchment. 21.5 The dispute settlement procedures set out in Part 2 will apply in the event of any concerns arising regarding retrenchments. 21.6 An Employee is entitled to access their Redundancy payments when they cease to be employed by the Employer. The amount of the Redundancy payment shall be whichever is the greater of the entitlement due under the Award as in force from time to time or the entitlement of the Employee under the Nominated Redundancy Fund trust deed (or under the constituting documents of any fund nominated by Incolink under this clause). Note that the industry-specific Redundancy scheme prescribed by the Award as in force from time to time is expressly incorporated into this Agreement (including for clarity, in respect of work falling within the scope of clause 4.2).
