Redundancy & Other Dismissals
Redundancy & Other Dismissals
Among the most common reasons for dismissing an employee is misconduct, inability to do the job and redundancy.
However, in all cases, employees have a legal right not to be dismissed unfairly and the consequences of getting this wrong can be very costly - up to £66,200 for normal unfair dismissal cases. Current employment legislation means that employers have to tread very carefully when considering this course of action and, as you would expect, ignorance of the law is no excuse.
When contemplating redundancies, businesses must be aware of the additional legal obligations around selection and consultation.
