An updated version of the Information Handbook: Rights and Remedies available to Employees Facing a Collective Redundancy Situation has been published.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Information Handbook was first published in 2021 as part of the government\u2019s\u00a0Plan of Action on Collective Redundancies following Insolvency.<\/a>\u00a0The Information Handbook provides clear and accessible information for employees facing a collective redundancy situation following a company insolvency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The updated Information Handbook reflects the changes to collective redundancy rules introduced in the\u00a0Employment (Collective Redundancies and Miscellaneous Provisions) and Companies (Amendment) Act 2024.<\/a>\u00a0These changes took effect from 1 July 2024. They provide a new form of redress to employees where their employer makes them redundant before the end of the 30-day notification period set out in law. They also enhance employees\u2019 entitlements to information, both as creditors under company law and as workers, in the event of their employer\u2019s insolvency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail, Emer Higgins,\u00a0 said:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“The Information Handbook has been a useful resource for employees since its publication in 2021. This updated Handbook reflects recent legislative changes we\u2019ve made to further enhance employees\u2019 rights when facing collective redundancies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Ireland has an increasingly diverse and multilingual labour force. It\u2019s really important that we can help all employees understand their rights when facing collective redundancies. That\u2019s why we have published a new Plain Language summary, which is available in eight different languages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I encourage anyone who is potentially facing collective redundancies to check the Information Handbook for clear, accessible information on their rights.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
