Chapter 10

Redundancy 


[ch 10: page 332]

Redundancy can be a fair reason for dismissal. However, there are several ways in which a redundancy dismissal can be unfair, including:


• unfair selection;


• failure to consult properly; and


• failure to offer suitable alternative employment. 


Unfair dismissal for redundancy is looked at in Chapter 11: Redundancy.


Reps can find more detailed guidance in the LRD booklet Redundancy law — a guide to using the law for union reps (www.lrdpublications.org.uk/publications.php?pub=BK&iss=1690).
