When faced with redundancy it’s natural to have lots of questions.

You’ll want to know if your redundancy is fair, how much notice your employers have to give you, and whether you are entitled to redundancy pay. Most employers handle the process properly and support their employees through this difficult time. However, if your employer is making redundancies and you feel as though you need help to ensure that you’re fairly treated, we’re here for you.

If you feel that you have been made redundant unfairly, then you’ll want to take action as soon as possible. It’s important to act quickly as you only have three months from the end of your employment to claim for unfair dismissal. If your redundancy is not unfair we can help you check your statutory redundancy entitlement.

Sometimes employers will offer employees they make redundant a settlement agreement (sometimes called a compromise agreement) which could include a payment in addition to the statutory redundancy package. Please see our page on compromise agreements for more information.
