Covid 19 – A timely reminder of employer obligations in respect of layoff, short time and redundancies
Regrettably while many employers prepare for the return of their workforce, for others they are faced with the unfortunate reality that due to a downturn in business caused by Covid-19, they will not be in the financial position to return some or all of their workforce. These employers may have to consider implementing or continuing with periods of layoff or short-time and in some cases employers will have to consider more permanent cost reduction measures i.e. redundancies.
