Acting for employees who have been made redundant

It is not uncommon for employees who are threatened with redundancy, or indeed dismissed for this reason, to believe that they have been treated unfairly. Many employees in such circumstances will have recourse to a claim for unfair dismissal, particularly if their employer has failed to:

• properly establish that there is a genuine redundancy situation and/or
• give adequate consideration to establishing a fair pool for selection for redundancies and/or
• agree fair and objective selection criteria with their employees and/or
• objectively score such employees against such criteria and/or
• give adequate consideration to alternative employment

If you believe that your proposed or actual dismissal by reason of redundancy is unfair then we can provide you with advice on whether you have a legal claim. We can negotiate with your employers concerning an agreed sum of compensation or, alternatively, represent you in an Employment Tribunal claim for unfair dismissal. We can also assist you in negotiating improved terms if you are offered a compromise agreement.
