Facing redundancy

Redundancy and entitlements

Redundancy can arise in a several forms. Your employer might decide to closes it business entirely, close the workplace where you are employed or make seek to make cuts where there is a reduced requirement for employees to carry out the kind of work which you’re employed to do.

If you are made redundant, you will be entitled to:

• Work your period of notice (or, in some circumstances, be paid in lieu of your period of notice); and
• Statutory Redundancy Pay.

If you have been made redundant, you may feel that:

• There was not a genuine redundancy situation;
• Your employer did not consult with you;
• You were unfairly selected for redundancy;
• Your employer did not consider any alternatives to your redundancy.
