An employer has to follow a fair redundancy process, genuine redundancy definitions include: the employer ceases to carry on the business in which the employee was employed, the employer ceases to carry on that business in the place where the employee was employed, the needs of the business for employees to carry out work of a particular kind cease or diminish; or the needs of the business for employees to carry out work of a particular kind in the place where the employee was employed cease or diminish. To avoid any potential unfair dismissal claims employers should have a redundancy policy in place that sets out the procedure and steps to follow when making staff redundant.
