Redundancy

Redundancies can be a fact of life in the smaller business, where carrying surplus staff is a shortcut to disaster. A shift in the economic or business climate, a merger or a move to a new location can all make redundancies inevitable.

Redundancy is a complex issue, full of pitfalls. To avoid falling foul of employment tribunals, it is essential to follow demonstrably fair procedures.

This briefing covers:

  • The timetable and procedure to follow.
  • How to choose who to make redundant.
  • Calculating statutory redundancy pay.
  • How to avoid legal and practical problems.
