Concise and informative, the Handbook is an authoritative guide to this complex and ever-relevant topic. Among other things, it considers the meaning of ‘dismissal’ and ‘redundancy’ and explains how statutory redundancy pay is calculated. The implications of unfair dismissal and discrimination law are analysed in depth, with detailed consideration of how unfairness and/or discrimination may arise in the redundancy selection and consultation process. There is also a thorough explanation of the duties imposed on an employer to inform and consult employee representatives when multiple redundancies are proposed, including the recent and forthcoming changes under the Employment Rights Act 2025.
