Redundancy

Redundancy

Our employment law solicitors are specialists in advising on redundancy situations.

In simple terms, if an employee qualifies for protection from unfair dismissal, an employer can only make an employee redundant if:-

1. There is a reduction in the number of employees needed to carry out the work, the work place had closed down or the employer ceases to carry out the type of work for which the employee was employed,
2. The employer fairly identifies the pool of employees from which the redundant employee will be selected,
3. The employer fairly and objectively selects the employee for redundancy from the pool,
4. The employer follows a fair procedure and consults the employees, and
5. There is no suitable alternative employment for the redundant employee.

If the employer fails to carry out any of the above steps, it could mean that the redundancy is unfair and the employee could be entitled to compensation.
