Must I amend a submitted retrenchment notification, and how do I do so?Show

Amendments are required for the following reasons:

  • Rectification of inaccurate details such as reasons for retrenchment
  • Removal of retrenched employees in cases of successful redeployment

Similar to the submission of a retrenchment notification, you may log in to amend your retrenchment notifications. 

You are not allowed to add employees into submitted retrenchment notifications. Please submit a new retrenchment notification if there are other employees who were notified of their retrenchment.
