Redundancy does not exempt employer from paying retrenchment benefits, it only can be used as a reason to retrench the employee.

I mean, I read through the act saying that employees can go and claim but I also heard if the employer gives enough notice (like if employees' notice period is 2 months) and they announced 2 months early, they can escape from paying any heavy damages. Is that true?

And what would be the reason for giving the employee the termination notice?
Service no longer needed aka redundancy right?

If this is the case the employee can still claim retrenchment benefits.
