When can redundancies happen?

Redundancy is one of the most common grounds for dismissal and we have seen an increasing number of redundancies in recent years. There are three different types of situation that can lead to redundancies, including:

• Business closure
• Workplace closure
• Reduction of workforce

What are my rights in a redundancy situation?

Under the law, redundancy is a fair reason for dismissal. However, your employer has certain obligations they must fulfil when making redundancies. If they fail to comply with these, you could be entitled to compensation. Among your rights in a redundancy situation, you may be entitled to the following:

• Redundancy pay
• Consultation with your employer
• A certain period of notice
• Time off to search for new employment
• The option to move to another role within the company

What are redundancy settlement agreements?

Often redundancy situations lead to settlement agreements being entered into between the employer and employee. We have a separate page on settlement agreements if you wish to find out more information. Settlement agreements, formerly known as compromise agreements, are a tremendous tool for both employers and employees. They provide a means of sidestepping legal formalities. This is very common and not always a bad thing for an employee.
