– Employment law redundancy rights advice for employers

There are times during a downturn in trade or a change in working practices that you need to reduce your staff. Redundancy is a potentially fair reason to terminate an employee’s contract. However, to avoid a claim of unfair dismissal a fair selection procedure must be followed.

To follow this procedure, it is best to get in contact with redundancy advice solicitors. We offer solicitors services all across Caernarfon and North Wales.

Employee rights

Your employee has a number of other rights you need to be aware of and the onus is on you to make sure you treat them fairly and give them everything they are due.

This ranges from exploring the option of alternative employment where possible, to making sure they receive the full financial package that their year of service allows them.

If you are considering making staff redundant, we can make sure you follow a correct and fair procedure and help you give the proper financial package they are entitled to.

Redundancy is a potentially fair reason to dismiss someone but only if it’s done fairly so we can help you avoid claims of unfair dismissal or even discrimination.

What constitutes redundancy?

The Law is clear about what constitutes redundancy; there being 3 different situations:

  1. Whole business redundancies where the business might be ceasing to trade altogether;
  2. Location redundancies, where the business closes its operation in a particular location; and
  3. What might be called job redundancies, where there is a need to reduce staff, maybe through a need to reduce costs or simply more efficient working practices.

Good advice is vital to ensure a fair process that will prevent the possibility of claims like unfair dismissal being brought against you.

Implementing a fair procedure is important and can be more complex than you might imagine.

When you need to make redundancies, we at Winrow Solicitors can advise on all aspects of the process to provide the support needed to ensure a fair and compliant procedure.
