Redundancy
Employees can be made redundant for a variety of reasons,
including:
- Closure of the business.
- Closure of the workplace.
- Reduction in need for employee.
Employers must follow a strict procedure when making employees
redundant. The employment solicitors at O'Neill Morgan can offer
expert support and advice on all aspects of redundancy procedure,
ensuring our clients are treated fairly by their employers.
Fair selection procedures must be followed when identifying
employees suitable for redundancy. This is usually done by
selecting a number of employees and then applying a list of fair
and objective criteria to narrow down the pool to those who may be
made redundant.
Employers must warn employees of the risk of redundancy and must
consult with the employees. Employers should also consider
alternatives to redundancy, for example where the business needs to
cut costs, they might consider employees taking sabbaticals or
reducing their hours.
If you have been made redundant, you may be entitled to
redundancy pay, outstanding salary, notice and holiday
pay.
