Redundancy
Redundancy has been part of our legal system for nearly 40 years and yet there is
still a great deal of confusion and misinformation as to what redundancy is and
how the process works.
Before there is any question of redundancy the employers’ need for employees to
carry out work of a particular kind must have diminished or ceased resulting in
the employer no longer requiring as many people to do that particular work or role.
There are various processes your employer must go through before making redundancies
– the days of “clear your desk – you’re redundant” are long gone. Employers should
ensure their procedures comply with current legislation.
