Redundancy is essentially where you: (a) close your business; (b) close a workplace; or (c) need fewer employees to do a certain type of work, or to work in a certain place. As part of a redundancy process, employers should consult their employees on the redundancy, explaining the reason for the redundancies, any steps that have or could be taken to reduce the impact of the redundancy situation, and if there are any available alternative roles that employees can be redeployed into. Depending on the number of employees being impacted there may be further consultation obligations for employers.
