Facing redundancy in London? Know your rights

When you face redundancy, understanding the legal rights that apply to your situation can be overwhelming. Our redundancy solicitors in London are here to ensure that you don’t miss any critical steps during the redundancy process and that you are aware of your legal rights during the redundancy process, such as:

Notice period

Your employer must provide a notice period based on your length of service. The minimum statutory notice period is one week for each year of service, up to a maximum of 12 weeks.

Redundancy pay

If you have worked for your employer for at least two years, you are entitled to statutory redundancy pay, which is calculated based on your age, length of service, and weekly earnings.

Alternative employment

Your employer must offer you a suitable alternative role if one is available, and you may be able to make a legal claim if your employer fails to offer you such a role. So, understanding redundancy law in the UK is important to help you judge whether or not your employer keeps to legal requirements and doesn’t attempt to side line your legal rights.

 

Our redundancy lawyers in London are here to clarify any questions you may have about such issues as suitable alternative employment, as well as providing you with the legal support you need during the process.

 

Challenging unfair redundancy in London – Your legal options

Unfortunately, not all redundancies are carried out fairly. If you feel that your redundancy was unjustified or discriminatory, you have legal options to challenge the decision. There are several grounds for challenging redundancy, including:

Discrimination

If you were selected for redundancy based on your gender, age, race, disability, or any other protected characteristic, you may have grounds for a discrimination claim.

Unfair procedure

If your employer failed to follow the correct redundancy procedure, including providing proper consultation, you may have grounds for unfair dismissal.

False reasons for redundancy

If you suspect that your redundancy is false or a ‘sham redundancy‘, and is really a cover for unfair treatment or a way to dismiss you for other reasons, our team of redundancy solicitors can help investigate the matter further.

 

Our redundancy solicitors are well-versed in employment law and particularly in redundancy cases. They can help you challenge any unfair or discriminatory redundancy decision. They will provide you with clear advice on the best course of action, including pursuing an employment tribunal if necessary.
