ACAS publish a very clear and useful booklet called "Redundancy Handling". It is of use to employers, employees and their representatives. It examines the steps that should be taken to minimize or avoid redundancy and the anxiety and uncertainty it brings. It suggests the careful planning of labour needs, creating an agreed redundancy procedure (even if redundancies are not expected) and stresses the importance of fair and consistent decision making if redundancy becomes unavoidable.
In 2003, ACAS received 4,386 applications to employment tribunals relating to redundancy pay, and 103 requests to help settle large-scale disputes.
This shows that redundancy is far more common in this country than many people believe. It could happen to anyone. Even you!
Despite Statutory Redundancy payments the need for proper Redundancy Insurance Cover is greater now than for some time. Lots of people put this off thinking that it will never happen to them. Of course when it does it is too late. All insurers will refuse cover if there is a possibility of redundancy in the near future so you need to act now and not wait until it is too late.
