Redundancy guide

Handling a redundancy exercise requires considerably more than merely complying with the basics of statutory employment law. Employers are expected to operate within a well-defined procedural framework and to follow specific legal provisions, which underpin good practice in a redundancy situation.


This guidance takes account of legislation and developments in case law and is intended for new recruits in local authority HR departments or for line managers who may be involved in some aspects of handling redundancies. It will also be a useful reminder for HR managers.
