The Risks of Redundancy

I have had several clients asking about redundancies, which is good. What is not so good is that other clients have told me that they have already made staff redundant. Beware, you could be setting yourself up for a series of claims!
Employment tribunals seldom challenge the business case for a redundancy. In the current environment the reasons are often patently obvious.
Where the claims can arise is in the area of selection or using a redundancy situation to get rid of that awkward character you have been trying to shift for years.
Selection of staff to reduce numbers of those on similar jobs needs to be by an agreed selection process against reasonable criteria. If in doubt get in touch.
