Questions my clients ask me

Redundancy is one of five potentially “fair” reasons for dismissal. However, if you are selecting employees for redundancy, then you must follow a fair selection procedure. This includes identifying an appropriate pool for selection and consulting with individuals in the pool prior to making any decisions. Any selection for criteria must be objective and fair, and you must consider any possibilities for alternative employment before making any redundancies. If you are making 20 or more employees redundant over a period of 90 days or less, you have a duty to carry out collective consultation with employee representatives.

Your organisation should be equipped with the awareness and tools to address and prevent mental ill health caused, or worsened, by work. Have a clear policy on mental health and stress, and address the causes of stress. Encourage people to raise concerns if they are stressed due to work-related issues. Training should be provided for managers in order for them to support employees, and there should be access to employee assistance programmes or training on stress management.

You must usually give your employee notice of termination in order to lawfully terminate their contract of employment. When an employee has been continuously employed for one month or more, they are entitled to receive the statutory minimum notice period.
