Helping employees with redundancy
Get advice and representation with an experienced trade union official
Unfortunately, the threat of redundancy is a common worry for many people at some stage of their working life. Nevertheless, being made redundant or being under threat of redundancy can lead to a difficult and stressful time.
If you're faced with redundancy, your employer must treat you fairly, taking into account your contract terms and other legal rights.
Your employer must tell you what's going on and give you a chance to ask questions and raise objections. There should also be a fair reason and you should be told why you have been selected for the redundancy. Your employer also has a legal duty to prevent job losses where possible.
If your employer does not follow the correct procedure, then you could have a claim for unfair dismissal, or claim compensation for lack of consultation.
How we can help you if you face redundancy?
As a team of dedicated trade union legal advisors, we are on your side. We are specialists in providing redundancy advice for employees.
We can assess your circumstances and advise you to ensure you are treated fairly throughout the redundancy process. We will help you ensure your employment rights are respected and we can represent you in meetings with your employers.
If you are eligible to receive redundancy pay we will ensure your payment has been calculated fairly in line with the terms of your contract.
If you are offered a redundancy agreement, sometimes known as a settlement agreement, we can check the terms and ensure you receive the settlement you are entitled to.
