Can I make an employee redundant if they are on worker’s compensation?

You must not select an employee for redundancy due to illness, injury or because they are on worker’s compensation. However, an employee is not protected from redundancy simply because they are on worker’s compensation. If a decision is made to make an employee, who is on worker’s compensation, redundant you must carry out the ordinary process that you would for example meeting consultation requirements prescribed in Modern Awards and Enterprise Agreements.
