• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3(k) of the Bill be amended by deleting the definition of the term "redundancy" and substituting therefor the following new definition:- "redundancy" means the loss of employment, occupation, job or career by involuntary means through no fault of an employee, involving termination of employment at the initiative of the employer, where the services of an employee are superfluous as a result of practices commonly known as abolition of office, job or occupation". view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in the previous Act, actually the word "redundancy" was being misused by employers. They were declaring people redundant without necessarily referring to the Ministry. This new definition means that there has to be a fault on the part of the employee. There has to be termination of employment at the initiative of the employer, where the services of an employee are superfluous, as a result of practices commonly known as abolition of office, job or occupation.

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the purpose of the exercise that we are doing - and we have been doing this for two months now - is to overhaul all those labour laws, including the Employment Act. The word "redundancy" as it appears here, will appear in the new Employment Act. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Not yet, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir! There is also one misunderstanding about the word "redundancy", which I want to clear. The word "redundancy" as it appears in the current Employment Act, in our opinion, as a Ministry, is inadequate. It does not protect workers as it should. Therefore, this is one area where we should be applauded! view
