Redundancy is never easy to take. It can shatter confidence, cause financial stress and hardship and make looking for new employment difficult to undertake. We all want to feel that we are doing a good job and that our services and hard work are valued, so when redundancy strikes it can undermine all the confidence that we work hard to build in the workplace. But did you know that if you’ve been made redundant unlawfully, then you could make a redundancy claim which could result in redundancy compensation?
Redundancy – the facts
Redundancy in the workplace can affect either one or two individual members of staff, or a collective group of employees. The redundancy process can be a long and drawn out affair. Often this is a confusing time for employees, particularly those who know that their position is vulnerable to redundancy. Compensation for redundancy comes in the form of a structured financial pay off, and many workers are happy with the outcome, some opting for voluntary redundancy. But where do you go for impartial advice if you think that your redundancy package is unfair, the redundancy process has been unlawful, or if you’d like to make a redundancy claim?
Who can I turn to if I think that my redundancy could be filed as an unfair dismissal claim?
Upon assessing your case, a specialist employment solicitor will be able to quickly ascertain whether your redundancy could be taken forward as an unfair dismissal claim. Employment lawyers experienced in redundancy compensation and making a redundancy claim or an unfair dismissal claim will offer professional, valuable advice and will only take a redundancy issue forward to an unfair dismissal claim if it meets the rigorous employment law requirements to do so. Don’t employ the first solicitor who says that they can increase your redundancy compensation, take your time to find an accredited, experienced solicitor that suits you.
What can I expect from an employment law solicitor?
Your chosen solicitor will offer advice on the fair selection criteria that should have been adhered to by your employers during the redundancy compensation process. They will make sure that no requirements have been breached in the selection process and check that any offers of alternative work were fair and equal to your current position. Even if your case is not suitable for an unfair dismissal claim they will be able to help you move your redundancy claim forward with efficient negotiation of your redundancy package and offer professional advice on Compromise Agreements. |
