Office Politics: challenging redundancy
Redundancy challenges are on the increase, but when can you legally challenge your redundancy? Philip Landau, employment law solicitor and partner of London law firm Landau Zeffert Weir, explains what rules apply.
With redundancies still commonplace, many employees are choosing to challenge their redundancy knowing that it may be a long time before they secure another position. It’s worth reflecting on the legal conditions that make a redundancy genuine. If you lose your job and there is a failure by your employer to follow a correct process, this could put you in a strong bargaining position to demand an enhanced redundancy. You ultimately have the right to apply to an employment tribunal for compensation.
If there is to be a genuine and legally watertight redundancy, the following must apply:
1). Your old job must have disappeared. If you are dismissed because of redundancy, this means that your employer needs to reduce the number of staff that are employed. This will be either because the place where you work is closing down, or because there is no longer the need (or expected to be the need) for you to carry out the particular kind of work that you do. Normally your job must have disappeared. It’s not a credible redundancy if your employer immediately takes on a direct replacement for you working full-time in your old role. It’s acceptable though, for your employer to amalgamate your role with a number of different roles to create a new position, and have chosen someone else to work in that position.
