Redundancy

Redundancy

We advise both employers and employees on redundancy. In summary, a redundancy situation arises when an employer needs fewer employees to carry out work of a particular kind or is closing down premises or moving operations to new premises. Often this can lead to claims for unfair dismissal if it is not handled correctly. We regularly advise employees on whether the process their employer is adopting, or has adopted, is fair, and whether they have been paid all the amounts they are properly owed. We also advise employers on how to properly and lawfully manage a redundancy situation, so as to avoid claims for unfair dismissal. We understand that facing redundancy can be difficult but also joint with not hearing back from job applications it can be very hard to continue to be positive. Though, remaining positive about possible job prospects is important.  At the time you it may not feel like it, but redundancies can offer new and exciting opportunities. If you are an employee who is being made redundant, or if you are an employer considering making redundancies, please call 01865 338037 for a no obligation, no charge telephone consultation to see if we can help.
