s530: s 530 Notify Centrelink before dismissing 15 or more employees for economic or similar reasons
Where an employer decides to dismiss 15 or more employees for economic, technological, structural or similar reasons, it gives Services Australia (Centrelink) written notice in any prescribed form of the reasons, the number and categories of employees likely to be affected and the timing, as soon as practicable after the decision and before dismissing any employee under it.
