Redundancy

Is your role at risk of redundancy?

A genuine redundancy still requires a fair process, including meaningful consultation, fair selection and consideration of alternative employment. Redundancy is also sometimes used to cover a different reason for dismissal.

Typical situations

  • You have been told your role is at risk.
  • You question the selection pool or scoring.
  • You have been offered a settlement agreement alongside redundancy.

Practical first steps

  • Ask for the business reasons, the pool and the selection criteria.
  • Engage fully in consultation and put your points in writing.
  • Check your entitlement to notice and redundancy pay.
