Employment law solicitor – Redundancy

Redundancy is the term given to describe the situation in which an employer decides or is required to reduce the number of its employees.

Redundancies occur due to a job no longer existing therefore there is no longer a position for the employee. As an employment law solicitor we have helped many employees during this unsettling time.

Genuine examples of redundancy include:

  • New technology makes a job unnecessary
  • An employer needs to cut costs and reduce the number of staff
  • The employer needs to close the business.

Before making an employee redundant an employer must ensure that they have carried out a fair procedure, considered alternatives to redundancy, including alternative employment.
