MSC may consider any requests for voluntary redundancy in line with the needs of the organisation. However, there is no requirement on MSC to consider or accept voluntary applications as it is important for MSC to retain the most competent and productive Employees. In order to terminate the employment of an Employee MSC will give to the Employee notice in accordance with the following table: PERIOD OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE PERIOD OF Less than 1 year 1 week 1 year and less than 3 years 2 weeks 3 years and less than 5 years 3 weeks 5 years and over 4 weeks In addition to the notice above, Employees over 45 years of age at the time of the giving of the notice with not less than two years continuous service, shall be entitled to an additional week’s notice. MSC may elect to pay an Employee in lieu of part or all of the notice period. Alternatively, MSC may require an Employee not to report for work, or provide altered duties, during part or all of the notice period. REDEPLOYMENT During the Notice Period MSC may attempt to find Alternative Employment for the Employee both within and outside of MSC. As a guide, “Alternative Employment” includes employment on similar terms and conditions to the redundant position. The Alternative Employment does not need to be identical to the Employee's prior position, but should utilise many of the same skills and competencies and the remuneration package provided should not be substantially less than in the Employee’s prior position. If MSC offers an Employee Alternative Employment or obtains an offer of Alternative Employment from another employer, the Employee shall not receive and is not entitled to receive any severance payment or any other entitlements as outlined in this Policy. An Employee will not be entitled to receive a severance payment where in the opinion of MSC, the Employee unreasonably declines to accept an offer of employment. OF BUSINESS MSC will not provide a severance payment under this Policy where an Employee’s employment is transferred to another employer where the period of continuous service with the Employee and MSC is recognised by the new employer. SEVERANCE PAY An Employee, who is redundant, will at MSC’s discretion, be entitled to severance pay in accordance with the following scale: Length of Continuous Service* Severance Pay
