What to know if you've been made redundant

Understanding redundancy pay, the selection process, and when a redundancy might not be genuine.

Redundancy is only lawful if it's genuine and the process is handled fairly — the selection criteria and consultation matter as much as the payout.

What this covers
  • Statutory and contractual redundancy pay
  • Whether the selection process was fair
  • Consultation requirements
  • When a redundancy may in fact be an unfair dismissal
Worth checking before you sign anything or accept a settlement figure.
