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.
Fair procedures must be followed to ensure fairness to your employee(s) and to minimise the risk of a Tribunal claim being submitted.
Our specialist Employment Solicitors can provide advice to you through each step of the redundancy process to ensure the dismissal is fair, and that employer and employee depart on good terms and therefore minimise the risk of an expensive Tribunal claim.
