Todays Employment Law Update as of 16/10/2014. Redundancy Key points Good communications and consultation between management and employees can help an organisation get through the redundancy process. Employees have the right not to be unfairly selected for redundancy. Employees may be entitled to a statutory redundancy payment and notice. Redundancies can happen when employees are dismissed because their job no longer exists, for example when: new technology makes a job unnecessary an employer needs to cut costs and reduce the number of staff the employer needs to close the business. Although, an employee will need 2 years service for a redundancy payment, dismissal due to redundancy can happen at any point, the fairness of a dismissal may be challenged if an employee has at least one years continuous service for employees in employment before 6th April 2012 or two years for employees starting employment on or after 6th April 2012, however if the redundancy dismissal was due to asserting a statutory right eg. requesting flexible working, then no fixed length of service is required. Pay is capped at £464 per week. Length of service is capped at 20 years. Services. For more information please go two Roper HR UK. roperpaul78.wix/roper-hr-services
