What this usually involves

Redundancy claims usually succeed on process rather than the underlying business case. Getting pooling, selection and consultation right is what makes a dismissal fair.

  • Defining the pool and objective selection criteria
  • Individual and collective consultation timetables
  • Redundancy pay, notice and settlement agreements

Common questions

When is collective consultation required?
Where 20 or more redundancies are proposed at one establishment within 90 days, with minimum consultation periods before dismissal.
Can we use settlement agreements instead?
Often yes, but employees must take independent legal advice for the agreement to be binding.
