The reference period to identify a collective redundancy was also shortened from 90 to 30 days, even if the size threshold was also reduced from 20 to 10 dismissed workers. In the United Kingdom, an amendment of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was approved early in 2013. It stipulates that fixed-term contracts not terminating for reasons of redundancy are no longer included in the provisions on collective dismissals.
