Understanding redundancy
Redundancy occurs when an employer needs to reduce their workforce due to various factors such as business closures, economic downturns, or technological advancements. Knowing your rights during this process is crucial to ensuring fair treatment.
Your rights during redundancy
As an employee facing redundancy, you have several rights, including:
- Notice period: You are entitled to adequate notice based on your length of service.
- Consultation: Employers must consult with you about the redundancy process and explore possible alternatives.
- Redundancy pay: If you have been employed for at least two years, you are entitled to statutory redundancy pay.
- Alternative employment: Your employer should consider offering you alternative roles within the company.
What if my redundancy is unfair?
If you believe your redundancy is unfair or discriminatory, you may have grounds to challenge it. Redundancy should not be based on discriminatory factors such as age, gender, disability, or pregnancy. If you suspect unfair treatment, seek legal advice promptly to protect your rights.
