Redundancy and signing on
Being made redundant can be tough, so it helps to know your rights.Redundancy is a form of dismissal from your employment. It doesn't mean that you've done something wrong, just that your employer has decided to reduce the size of the workforce.
They must follow the correct procedures and consider whether they have alternative work available. They cannot discriminate on grounds such as race or gender.
You are still entitled to holiday and statutory sick pay, even after you've been told you will be made redundant.
