Redundancy

Redundancy can be a difficult and stressful experience, and it’s important to understand your rights and what your employer must follow during the process. Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to consultation, notice periods, redundancy pay, and alternative roles. You should also know how selection decisions are made and what to do if you believe the process is unfair. At Pre-Law, we offer fixed-fee advice to help you understand your position, assess your options, and make informed decisions about your next steps.

Employment / Redundancy

What We Do

We support individuals and businesses with:

  • Assessing Redundancy Situations – determining whether a redundancy is genuine and legally valid
  • Redundancy Consultation Support – advising on the process, timelines, and legal requirements
  • Selection Criteria and Process Reviews – ensuring decisions are fair, objective, and well-documented
  • Notice, Pay and Statutory Entitlements – advising on redundancy pay, notice periods, and accrued benefits
  • Alternatives to Redundancy – exploring options such as reduced hours, redeployment, or settlement
  • Negotiating Redundancy Settlements – securing fair terms for exit packages and advising on settlement agreements
  • Challenging or Defending Redundancy Dismissals – including early conciliation and tribunal claims

Redundancy Issues We Advise On

We provide guidance on a wide range of redundancy-related matters, including:

  • Individual and Collective Redundancies – including consultation duties, fair selection, and required notifications
  • Selection Disputes – where employees believe they’ve been unfairly or unlawfully chosen for redundancy
  • Lack of Genuine Redundancy – for example, where the role remains or recruitment continues elsewhere
  • Failure to Consult – where legal requirements are overlooked, rushed, or not properly followed
  • Discrimination in Redundancy – where selection is influenced by age, sex, disability, pregnancy, or other protected characteristics
  • Redundancy During Family Leave – including issues involving maternity, paternity, or shared parental leave

If you’re unsure whether a redundancy has been handled fairly – or need support negotiating a fair exit package – we’re here to help.
