Redundancy

The current recession unfortunately means that the threat of redundancy is a very real problem for many employees. Redundancy law and procedure can be confusing, but we can readily explain everything to you, whether you have been notified of redundancy or are just worried by the prospect of being made redundant in the future.

There are a number of issues that can arise in a redundancy situation, ranging from whether there has been a fair selection process to whether your redundancy pay has been calculated correctly. In any event, we will always attempt to negotiate the best possible redundancy package for you and ensure that your package is as tax efficient as possible.

Very often, employers will offer redundant employees a compromise agreement and this is something that we can definitely assist you with. Please see our separate page on compromise agreements.

Sometimes an employee may have an employment tribunal claim for unfair dismissal based on the unfair selection for redundancy. We can advise you on this specific claim and any other employment law claim that may be relevant to your case.

We act for both employees and employers in this area and this helps us provide the best service for our clients as we know all of the relevant arguments to use in order to achieve the best possible result for you.
