Redundancy

Redundancies are an inevitable part of modern working life. However, when a redundancy occurs, it can be particularly stressful for those involved.

Redundancy is a form of dismissal from your job. It happens when employers need to reduce their workforce.

If you’re being made redundant, you might be eligible for certain rights, including:

  • redundancy pay
  • a notice period
  • a consultation with your employer
  • the option to move into a different job
  • time off to find a new job

You must be selected for redundancy in a fair way, for example because of your level of experience or capability to do the job.

You cannot be selected because of age, gender, or if you’re disabled or pregnant. If you are, this could be classed as an unfair dismissal.

Our employment law solicitors ensure that the redundancy was genuine, that the process was communicated to you in the correct way and they will check that the redundancy calculations are correct and that you will be paid everything you are entitled to.
