It is always extremely upsetting to be told that you have been selected for redundancy and it leads to a great deal of worry and uncertainty. Please note that redundancy is a legitimate way for an employer to terminate a contract of employment, but it must be a genuine redundancy in order for it to be fair.

If you are being made redundant and you have concerns about the selection process, you have the right to challenge the same and may possibly submit a later claim for unfair dismissal on the grounds of redundancy.

Here at Maddersons, we can talk you through the process and advise you of what steps (if any) you can take.
