Redundancy is a type of job dismissal where an employer lets an employee go because their role isn't needed any more. It’s about the role itself, not the person doing it, which makes it different from being dismissed for poor performance or workplace misconduct. Employers may choose to make staff redundant for several reasons, such as the business closing, changes in the staffing structure, a role falling in demand, or changing location. If you’re made redundant, you might have certain rights – like redundancy pay, a notice period, and time off to look for a new job – depending on how long you’ve been with the company. These rights are designed to offer a bit of security during what can be a challenging time.
