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.

If you are facing a redundancy procedure at your workplace, we can support you through this. Employers must follow a fair procedure if they are proposing to make employees redundant and if you have over two years’ continuous service with your employer, you will be entitled to a statutory redundancy payment.

We understand that redundancy can be an anxious and uncertain time. We are here to assist you through each step of the process.
