Redundancy

Employees can be made redundant for a variety of reasons, including:

  1. Closure of the business.
  2. Closure of the workplace.
  3. 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.
