Redundancy is a specific form of dismissal that occurs when an employer needs to reduce the workforce. It’s not about the employee’s performance but rather factors such as organizational restructuring, economic challenges, technological advancements, or closing of a business unit. It’s a legally complex area, and both employees and employers can benefit from specialized legal guidance. Our Cheltenham firm has vast experience in handling redundancy matters, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, and providing compassionate support to those affected.
Calculating redundancy pay is a complex matter, depending on age, salary, and length of service. Statutory redundancy pay is often the minimum an employee can receive, but contracts may offer more generous terms. Our Cheltenham solicitors can assist in understanding what you are entitled to or what you must provide if you’re an employer.
