Rendundancy

If you are facing redundancy, it is important to understand your rights and ensure you are treated fairly.

We are specialist employment solicitors based in Wiltshire, advising employees on redundancy, settlement agreements, and workplace disputes. We provide clear, practical advice to help you protect your position and secure the best possible outcome.

What is redundancy?

Redundancy occurs when your employer needs to reduce their workforce, usually because:

The business is closing
The workplace is relocating
There is less need for your role

Your employer must follow a fair redundancy process. If they do not, you may have a claim.

Your rights in redundancy

If you are made redundant, you may be entitled to:

Statutory redundancy pay
Notice pay
Payment for unused holiday
A fair selection process
Consultation before dismissal

If your employer fails to follow the correct procedure, the redundancy may be unfair.

When redundancy may be unfair

Redundancy can be challenged if:

You were unfairly selected
There was no proper consultation
Suitable alternative roles were not offered
The process was rushed or flawed
The redundancy is not genuine

In these situations, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal.

We provide expert advice on all aspects of redundancy, including:

Reviewing your redundancy situation
Advising on your legal rights
Assessing whether the process was fair
Negotiating settlement agreements
Bringing claims where appropriate
