Are you in need of advice on employee redundancy rights? If a redundancy situation develops, a number of serious problems arise if you are ill-prepared to handle the necessary dismissals. Employee redundancy rights cannot be denied. If the employee's contract of employment has been drafted properly to clarify the rights and responsibilities of each party towards the other upon termination, you will be better able to handle the matter smoothly and lawfully.

In addition to well drafted contracts of employment, you need to have written disciplinary and dismissal procedures that comply with the statutory three-step dismissal procedure in order to ensure that you not disregard employee redundancy rights, otherwise you could find yourself before a tribunal.

Our dedicated team can help you tackle all employment law issues from employee redundancy rights through to staff absence on account of long-term sick leave and an employee's right to request flexible working. Alternatively, if you are looking for help on how to employ staff without the threat of tribunal claims, we work with you to provide practical solutions. With a little planning at the start of the employment relationship, it is possible to prevent employee redundancy rights becoming a major problem if, in the future, you need to down-size or re-organise your workforce.
