Redundancy
Our specialist Employment Solicitors are experienced in advising both employers and employees on redundancy situations.
Redundancy is a potentially fair reason for dismissing an employee if:
1. The employer has ceased or intends to cease to carry on the business (i) for which the employee was employed; or (ii) where the employee was employed; or
2. The requirement for employees to carry out work of a particular kind has ceased or diminished or are expected to cease or diminish; or
3. The requirement for employees to carry out work of a particular kind in the place where the employee was employed has ceased or diminished or are expected to cease or diminish.
However, fair procedures must be followed to ensure fairness to employee(s) and minimise the risk of a Tribunal claim being submitted.
Our specialist Employment Solicitors can advise you as to any potential claims if you feel the redundancy was unjustified and/or a fair procedure was not followed.
