Redundancy and Termination of Employment

ASK A QUESTION

Losing your job is one of the harder things that can happen to you. We help you understand whether it’s been handled fairly.

Whatever your employer says the reason is, redundant, dismissed for capability or conduct, or something else entirely, it matters whether they’ve acted fairly and followed the law. We advise on genuine and unfair redundancy selection, consultation requirements, redundancy pay, notice pay, garden leave, payment in lieu of notice and holiday pay. We also advise on wrongful and constructive dismissal, and dismissals connected to capability or long-term sickness.

Not every dismissal is unlawful. But employers are expected to follow a fair process and make reasonable decisions before ending your employment, and it’s often worth someone else looking at whether they did.

We regularly advise on:

  • Genuine redundancy
  • Unfair redundancy selection
  • Consultation requirements
  • Redundancy pay
  • Notice pay
  • Garden leave
  • Payment in lieu of notice
  • Holiday pay
  • Wrongful dismissal
  • Constructive dismissal
  • Capability dismissals
  • Long-term sickness dismissal

Losing a job affects more than your income. Our advice is about helping you move forward with a clear head.

We can advise from the first meeting where redundancy is mentioned, right through to an employment tribunal if it comes to that. Most cases never get that far.

If you’re not sure which of these fits your situation, call us, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
