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).
