Which workers get extra protection if they're made redundant?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you work in an area like cleaning, catering, laundry or caretaking and your job is restructured so that it will be done by workers employed by another employer, you can transfer to the new employer on the same terms and conditions.
Vulnerable work includes cleaning services, food catering services, laundry services (in education, health, or age-related residential care sectors), orderly services (in health or age-related residential care sectors), and caretaking in the education sector.
You can get the redundancy from your old agreement (or a negotiated compensation if it doesn’t include compensation) if you’re made redundant under your new employer. If you can’t agree on compensation, the Employment Relations Authority will decide.
