Redundancy and Dismissals

Employment Redundancy and Dismissals  - Kent, Sussex & Surrey

Redundancy is one of the five fair reasons for which an employer can dismiss an employee.

However, an employer should only consider redundancies as an option if either part or all their organisation is closing; there is a change in location; or, there is a change in the type or number of roles needed for specific work.

We understand that redundancy processes can be one of the most emotive times for an employer and we are here to support you through the necessary steps. We can guide you through the consultation processes, the appointment of representatives where needed, how to use pooling and scoring when deciding on who to make redundant, statutory redundancy payments and the overall management of the process.

Our team is well versed in advising on redundancy situations and we can take time with you to understand the situation at hand, so that we may best support your business through these changes.
