your employment contract dealing with redundancy If one of these grounds apply, what action can I take? If any of these grounds apply, you can bring a personal grievance against your employer to the Employment Relations Authority: see How to bring a personal grievance against your employer. (There are a number of grounds for bringing a personal grievance: a personal grievance on the basis of a redundancy comes under the general ground of unjustified dismissal.) It may be that your employment agreement deals in some way with redundancy and that your employer hasn't complied with those contractual terms. For example, your employer may have refused to pay some or all of the compensation due to you under the agreement, or the employer may not have followed the procedure that the agreement specifies for selecting the employees that will be made redundant. If this is the case, then you also have the additional right to apply to the Employment Relations Authority to have those terms enforced. In the employment legislation this is called a "dispute", and is separate from the personal grievance procedure. Whereas you must raise a personal grievance with your employer within 90 days, there is no such restriction in the case of a "dispute". The only time limit is that you must apply to the Employment Relations Authority within six years of when the events in question happened. If your agreement is silent on the question of redundancies, then your only course of action is a personal grievance
