Redundancy Law and Your Rights

An employee is made redundant if they are dismissed from their job as a result of the firm needing to reduce the workforce. Reasons for this might include:
  • New systems/technology rendering your role unnecessary
  • The company is closing down or moving
  • The company being obligated to cut costs
  • The role you were hired for no longer exists

However, there is still a variety of things your employer needs to consider to make sure redundancy is fair, even if the reason for your redundancy is one of the above.

An employee's redundancy rights include:

  • The right to notice
  • The right to a fair selection process
  • The right for the employer to consider alternatives to redundancy
  • The right to redundancy pay

If you believe you have been made redundant unfairly and that your employer has neglected these rights, you may be eligible to claim compensation.
