Unfortunately, if roles within your company will no longer exist, perhaps because of a downturn in profitability, it's legal for the company to make redundancies. However, employees being made redundant must be selected fairly on largely objective criteria such as, performance or disciplinary records. It's unlawful for you to be selected for redundancy based on discrimination on the grounds of: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex and sexual orientation.
