As a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the industrial
landscape is changing at a rate not seen before. Businesses are

make employees redundant. Recently the Fair Work Commission (FWC)
handed down two decisions dealing with redundancy pay to employees
as a result of pandemic-induced redundancies.
