The national redundancy period is limited to 30 weeks within an 18-month period. When the redundancy period expires, the employer must pay the salary and the employee must come back to work. However, the Government has proposed to expand the redundancy period from 30 to 52 weeks. The proposal implies that the employer shall pay the employee’s salary for five days after the first 30 weeks, and then another redundancy period starts for 19 weeks. The proposal is expected to come into force 1 July 2016.
