Understanding redundancy

Redundancy occurs when an employer needs to reduce their workforce due to various factors such as business closures, economic downturns, or technological advancements. Knowing your rights during this process is crucial to ensuring fair treatment.

Your rights during redundancy

As an employee facing redundancy, you have several rights, including:

  • Notice period: You are entitled to adequate notice based on your length of service.
  • Consultation: Employers must consult with you about the redundancy process and explore possible alternatives.
  • Redundancy pay: If you have been employed for at least two years, you are entitled to statutory redundancy pay.
  • Alternative employment: Your employer should consider offering you alternative roles within the company.

What if my redundancy is unfair?

If you believe your redundancy is unfair or discriminatory, you may have grounds to challenge it. Redundancy should not be based on discriminatory factors such as age, gender, disability, or pregnancy. If you suspect unfair treatment, seek legal advice promptly to protect your rights.

How we can help

If you are offered a settlement agreement, our solicitors will help negotiate favourable terms. We will review the agreement, advise on its implications, and ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.

If you suspect your redundancy is unfair, our solicitors will gather evidence, advise on the best course of action, and represent you in negotiations or tribunals to seek justice and compensation.
