When employers make significant changes to their operations, usually for financial or organisational reasons, they may call this ‘restructuring’ and it often means that they may decide to make some staff redundant. In such circumstances, employers are required to follow proper procedures and the processes by which individuals are selected for redundancy must be clear and applied fairly.
In most cases, any redundancies will be accompanied by redundancy payments to help soften the blow for the employees who are losing their source of income. Employers may seek out individuals to accept ‘voluntary redundancy’ and often offer a more favourable package so that fewer compulsory redundancies are required. Redundancy payments, however they are agreed, are often subject to formal ‘settlement agreements’ that outline the terms under which the employment is terminated and the payments involved.
If you are subject to redundancy negotiations, we strongly recommend you seek expert legal advice to ensure that you are being treated fairly, and that the package you are being offered is as favourable as you can expect. Our experienced employment lawyers will advise you on your rights, help you to understand your options and ensure that you make decisions that are right for you, especially if this means taking legal action to contest the process.
We specialise in advising on the terms of a settlement agreement and will ensure that the payments and terms agreed are as favourable for you as possible.
