The University highly values its employees and commits to providing security of employment and, wherever possible, retaining the services of, and offering continuing employment to employees
The University will explore all available options to mitigate the impact of any reduction in the size of the University’s workforce. Reductions in the size of the University’s workforce will occur through natural attrition and voluntary measures such as, voluntary redundancy, redeployment, relocation, training or retraining before consideration is given to involuntary retrenchment. Involuntary retrenchment will be used as a last resort.
Subject to an exceptional circumstance that may arise (including substantial adverse changes in Government funding or major negative economic disruption), employees cannot be subject to more than one Major Change process that results in one or more forced redundancies within the nominal life of the Agreement.
An employee who has been redeployed during the life of the Agreement as an outcome of a Major Change process will not have their employment ended as a result of involuntary retrenchment in a subsequent Major Change process.
