HR Policy & Practice Reports

Redundancy Policy & Practice Report 2009

Many organisations in Australia are considering or have already made redundancies in response to worsening global and local economic conditions. The Redundancy Policy & Practice Report 2009 will act as a benchmark and guide to best practice for those organisations currently considering or undertaking redundancies.

This report provides key information on the legislative requirements for employee redundancies; the policies organisations have in place; and market practice for undertaking redundancies. Specifically, it will cover:

• Employers' obligations under State and Federal legislation

• How organisations have developed their redundancy policies
• Whether provisions are in place for employees above the statutory minimum
• What changes to redundancy policy organisations are planning

• Common measures used to avoid or prevent redundancies
• Statistics on prevalence of redundancies by geography and by job family for the past 12 months and forecasts for the coming 12 months
• Selection criteria organisations are using to mark positions for redundancy
• Determining redundancy packages including notice periods, calculation of severance pay and provision of services such as outplacement
• Communicating redundancies and company restructures within the organisation
