If you have been made redundant or are facing redundancy, you should get legal advice. Some employers may be unaware of their legal obligations to employees. You may have rights to challenge the employer’s decision to declare your position redundant, or you may have a right to refuse a position that is offered to you. You should ensure that you receive all your statutory and contractual entitlements to notice, leave and redundancy pay.

The payments that the employer proposes to make to you should be checked to ensure that you are paid the correct amount and that any non-salary rights (such as bonuses or share options) are paid.
