Redundancy
At times an employer will need to reduce his/her workforce by means of redundancy. This may be because of a need to close down a site or to reduce the size of the workforce because the need for particular types of work has fallen.
If an employer has a genuine redundancy then an employee may qualify for a redundancy payment (in accordance with a set formula) provided the employee has at least two years' continuous service with the employer.
It can be the case that redundancy is not the real reason for dismissal or even if there is a genuine redundancy situation then certain employees have been unfairly selected for redundancy. In such situations it is possible that there will be a claim for unfair dismissal and the higher levels of compensation that go with unfair dismissal cases. |
