Employers need to follow the correct process (under current case law) when making employees redundant. They need to have genuine business-related reasons for making someone redundant, such as financial, technological, market or product changes, or selling off the business. By law, employees must be fully consulted before any decision is made which could adversely affect their employment continuing. That includes being given a proposal to disestablish their position, with clear supporting information, and the chance to comment on the proposal before the final decision is made. We support employees who believe they have been unfairly made redundant.
