Redundancy

Redundancy

Redundancy situations have become more prevalent over recent years and can be particularly difficult for all those involved. The redundancy process can be a legal minefield and it is important that employers follow the correct dismissal procedures to minimise the disruption to their business, protect their reputation and remove the risk of claims for unfair dismissal and that employees are aware of their rights and entitlements.

Our employment lawyers have extensive experience advising employers on redundancy situations and employees faced with being made redundant. We are particularly experienced at managing multiple redundancy scenarios and managing redundancy issues within the context of reorganisations and TUPE transfers.

We can advise clients on:

• Whether there is a redundancy situation
• Effective strategies for making redundancies
• Formulating selection matrixes
• Collective consultation
• Electing employee representatives
• When to notify the DTI
• Redundancy payments and bonuses
• Compromise agreements
