Redundancy Procedure

Discrimination
Compulsory redundancy is a dismissal.

An employer proposing redundancies needs to devise and operate a fair procedure for selecting those to be made redundant. The employer will sometimes try to agree the procedure with a trade union or employee representatives. Sometimes employers have a written procedure already set out in an employee handbook and sometimes a procedure is only devised when redundancies need to be made.

Solicitors are not usually allowed to accompany employees to redundancy consultation meetings. So normally we don’t become involved unless and until someone is dismissed and needs representation to make a claim for unfair dismissal. If you are fully prepared for a redundancy meeting there is more hope that you may be able to avoid being made redundant in the first place, or if the worst happens and you are dismissed, then you should have a better chance of showing that your selection for redundancy was unfair.

Our guide will help you through all stages of the process including any appeal and tell you what should happen if your employer follows the ACAS guidance on redundancy handling.
