Redundancy Solicitors, London | Redundancy

Redundancy can be an exceptionally testing time, for both employee and employer. For this reason it can be desirable to take advice from a specialist redundancy solicitor

From the business perspective, it is important to act lawfully by adopting a redundancy procedure that is fair. If redundancy consultation results in termination of employment for an employee, then contractual notice of termination should be served (or payment made in lieu of notice) and statutory redundancy paid (where the employee is eligible).

As part of the redundancy programme organisations may further decide to offer their staff an extra (or ‘ex-gratia’) payment. Where redundancy is handled fairly there will be no legal necessity to pay this extra compensation, however businesses may value the additional security that a settlement agreement offers by way of the employees’ pledge to refrain from litigation.
