Redundancy Claim Solicitors

Need Help Defending A Redundancy Claim?

Arthur Li, Specialist
Employment Solicitor

If you are considering redundancy, or have made redundancies but failed to follow the correct procedure or selected the wrong employees, you may face a redundancy compensation claim against you. If this applies to you, we can provide you with early advice to protect your interests and to reduce any potential claims against you.

Reasons for Redundancy

Reasons for redundancy can include:

• new technology or a new working practice
• a job being absorbed into another one or no longer existing
• your business is closing down, reorganising/restructuring or moving

The Redundancy Process

You should select the employees fairly for redundancy, and should forewarn or consult your staff about the possible redundancy. You should take reasonable steps to see if affected employees can be transferred to another part of the business and decide whether there are any alterntatives avaliable apart from redundancy.

An employee is entitled to receive statutory redundancy pay and be given the correct amount of notice. However, if you use redundancy as an excuse to hide the real reason for ending an employee's contract, or if they do not carry out the redundancy selection procedure properly, your action may amount to unfair dismissal.
