Deal with a request from a redundant employee to take time off work for training or to look for new employment
Key points
Employees who have been given notice of dismissal by reason of redundancy are entitled to take a reasonable amount of paid time off work to look for new employment or make arrangements for training for future employment.
To be eligible to take time off work, an employee must have the required minimum continuous service by the time their notice is due to expire.
What is a "reasonable" amount of time off will depend on the circumstances of the case.
