Redundancy or not ????

Eircom_Sucks

long story short

am working full time for same company past 11 years , in march 2009 i was put on a 3 day week and its the same ever since

now im doing the other 2 days for a family business etc and have been offered full time there , thing is i don't wanna leave my other job and leaving 11 years redundancy behind me

is there legislation that if your on a 3 day week for 2 years your entitled to ask for it or ask to be made redundant ???

i know if your put on a 2 day week you can ask for this

It's 4 weeks I think. I think a 3 day week is considered short time as it works on a 6 day week.

Claiming redundancy

If a lay-off or a short-time situation exists and has continued for 4 weeks or more, or for 6 weeks in the last 13 weeks, you may give your employer a notice in writing of your intention to claim redundancy under the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967-2007. You must do this no later than 4 weeks after the period of lay off or short time has ended.
Unless your employer gives you a counter-notice within 7 days of your notice, you may be entitled to a redundancy payment provided that you qualify for redundancy. If your employer gives you a counter-notice within the allotted time, it must be to the effect that within 4 weeks of the date of your claim for redundancy, it will be possible to offer you not less than 13 weeks work without lay off or short time.
You should note that if you claim redundancy in this way you are considered to have left your job voluntarily and therefore you will lose any right to notice from your employer under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts 1973-2001. However if you have been laid off and you are subsequently made redundant by your employer you do not lose your notice entitlements.

But to be 100% sure you should contact NERA.
