What redundancy rights do employees have in Edinburgh and what should I do if I think the process is unfair?

A Sorted Team Answered by

Employees in Edinburgh have the same redundancy rights as elsewhere in Great Britain. Your employer should follow a fair consultation and selection process, give the correct notice, and may owe statutory redundancy pay if you meet the qualifying conditions. If 20 or more redundancies are proposed, collective consultation rules may apply. Ask your employer for the reasons and calculations in writing, keep relevant records, and contact Acas for guidance; strict time limits can apply to Employment Tribunal claims. For advice about your circumstances, consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA.
