    The Redundancy Process

    The redundancy process covers many areas and can feel like walking a bit of a tight rope. Several complex processes need to be followed when dealing with redundancy.

    Redundancy can occur in three types of situation:

    • Closure of the entire business
    • Workplace closure; e.g. closing of a branch where employees work
    • Reduction of workforce

    We can help you to avoid breaching employment law, and our employment law experts can advise you on all details relevant which include:

    • Employee consultation: It is important when considering making an employee redundant that you consult with them as soon as possible.
    • Fair selection procedure: Several factors can be taken into account to select which employees to make redundant.
    • Dismissal procedure: A formal and set dismissal procedure needs to be followed if you wish to avoid future repercussions and potential employment tribunal claims.
    • Redundancy payments: If an employee has completed at least 2 years of service of continuous service, then you will be required to pay statutory redundancy pay.

    Also, the process for making a group of people, 20 or more, redundant over a period of 90 days or less, there are additional things you must prepare for and do.

    It can be a minefield for employers and in our experience redundancy dismissals in certain circumstances can be automatically unfair for several reasons unknown to you. PJH Law are pleased to help and ensure you mitigate your risk and potential exposure to Employment Tribunal claims,
