Home > FAQ > Employment Law FAQ's > What is a ‘protective’ award?

This can be asked for by workers in cases where an employer fails to consult with employee representatives in time when planning collective redundancies. The award covers a protected period of up to 90 days in which the employer must pay dismissed workers or those proposed for dismissal full pay for the duration of that period. This is why employers should begin collective redundancy consultations as soon as possible.
