A recent Fair Work Commission decision has highlighted the importance of considering all relevant and reasonable redeployment options when making an employee redundant.

When a commercial or retail lease comes to an end, both landlords and tenants face one final hurdle – the ‘make good’ obligations contained in the lease. These obligations set out the condition in which the tenant must return the premises to the landlord at the end of the term.
