Redundancies are becoming frequently more common in our turbulent economic climate, as firms or business units close, re-organise or are taken over and employers decide to reduce their workforce. Under UK employment law, redundancy is a form of dismissal. However, it is a special type of dismissal to which different rules and requirements apply. If not carried out in accordance with the requirements of employment law, redundancy could lead to a claim from wrongful or unfair dismissal.

Those being made redundant have legal rights:

  1. To be given reasons for the redundancy
  2. To be told and consulted in advance.
  3. To be selected according to an objectively fair process
  4. To be offered alternative employment wherever possible
  5. To try out any alternative offer of suitable work for four weeks without losing your right to a redundancy payment.
  6. To take reasonable time off, with pay, to look for alternative work or training. What is reasonable depends on the nature of your work.
  7. Payment of entitlements
