Redundancy

Overview

Workplace redundancies require careful planning, clear communication, and a thorough understanding of employer obligations and employee rights. We advise employers on consultation obligations, redeployment considerations, and best practices.

For employees, we talk through entitlements and assess whether the redundancy has been properly executed.

FAQs

When is a redundancy considered ‘genuine’?

A redundancy is genuine when the role is no longer required and the employer has followed proper consultation and redeployment steps. If these steps are missed, disputes can arise. We help employers manage the process correctly and assist employees in understanding their entitlements.
