Frequently asked questions
A redundancy must be for a genuine business reason and follow a fair process. This usually includes proper consultation, fair selection criteria and consideration of alternative roles. If an employer fails to follow these steps, the redundancy may be unfair. We review how the decision was made, assess the process used and advise whether you may have grounds to challenge it.
Most employees with at least two years’ service are entitled to statutory redundancy pay, and some contracts offer enhanced terms.
Yes. Criteria must be fair, objective and applied consistently across affected employees.
