The redundancy processes and your rights
Redundancy occurs when an employer needs to reduce the workforce due to business restructuring, economic challenges, or business closure. However, not all redundancies are handled correctly or fairly by employers.
Employers must follow a reasonable process when making employees redundant. This includes ensuring fair selection processes, proper consultation procedures, and appropriate notice periods. Employers must also offer redundancy pay when legally required. Stephensons' employment solicitors have extensive experience in challenging redundancy decisions and can carefully examine your situation to ensure proper processes have been followed, protecting you from unfair dismissal or improper redundancy selection criteria.
When should you seek redundancy legal advice?
If you suspect your redundancy has arisen from circumstances other than genuine business reasons or believe your employer did not follow correct redundancy procedures, it is vital to obtain legal advice immediately. Common circumstances when employees approach our team for redundancy legal advice include considering unfair dismissal claims due to unfair selection processes, insufficient consultation periods, discrimination-based redundancies, or when redundancy payments have not been correctly calculated or provided.
By speaking early with our legal specialists at Stephensons, you'll benefit from timely advice on your redundancy situation, significantly increasing your chances of resolving any issues amicably with your employer before formal claims become necessary.
