Last in first out rule?

Hi guys and gals, someone told me that employers can't go by the 'last in first out' rule anymore, is this true? cheers, jason [threadbanner]box[/threadbanner]

You can apply the LIFO rule but only if you apply it in every redundancy situation you have. (so if you do it one year you should really be doing it the next time around too)

Employers may have policies for redundancy selection but as long as selection criteria is transparant and applied consistently I think the criteria can be different in 2 rounds of redundancies.
