What is Redundancy?
Under UK Employment Law, redundancy is a form of dismissal. However, it is a special type of dismissal to which different rules and requirements apply, and your employer has to follow these rules in order for redundancy to be legal. If not carried out in accordance with the requirements of Employment Law, redundancy could lead to a claim for compensation due to wrongful or Unfair Dismissal. It’s recommended to use the help of a redundancy solicitor to help you claim.
Redundancy Legal Advice
Those being made redundant have legal rights:
- To be given reasons for the redundancy
- To be told and consulted in advance.
- To be selected according to an objectively fair process
- To try out any alternative offer of suitable work for four weeks without losing your right to a redundancy payment.
- To take reasonable time off, with pay, to look for alternative work or training. What is reasonable depends on the nature of your work.
- To payment of entitlements
Our redundancy solicitors can help you exercise these rights.
