    Understanding redundancy

    Redundancy occurs when employers reduce their workforce due to various reasons such as business closure or economic difficulties. Understanding your rights and entitlements during redundancy is crucial.

    Your rights

    • Notice period: You should receive notice based on your length of service.
    • Consultation: Employers must discuss redundancy and explore alternatives.
    • Redundancy pay: Statutory redundancy pay is due if you have at least two years of service.
    • Alternative roles: Employers should consider offering you alternative positions.

    Challenging unfair redundancy

    Redundancy must not be discriminatory or procedurally flawed. If you suspect unfair treatment, seek legal advice promptly to protect your rights. We help challenge unfair redundancies by gathering evidence and representing you in tribunals.

    • Consultation: Detailed review of redundancy terms and advice on rights and options.
    • Settlement negotiation: We negotiate favourable terms for any settlement agreement.
    • Unfair redundancy claims: Representation in disputes and tribunals to challenge unfair redundancies.
