Redundancy
There has to be a genuine reason for redundancy because it is the employee’s job or function that is being made redundant, not the person.
Generally, reasons for redundancy may include:
1. A restructuring or reorganisation
2. A need to reduce overheads because of falling sales or increases in losses (it will be necessary to produce figures to demonstrate such losses)
3. An increase in automation, so that there is no longer any requirement to employ the number of individuals previously employed.
Remuneration
Full details of the employee’s pay/salary should be included, as well as the frequency and method of payment.
