If you receive a low redundancy offer from your employer, you must be pragmatic. The amount on offer could be: All the company is able to offer you in the circumstances; or Limited/capped, i.e. there are instructions to limit the amount of redundancy pay to a certain amount. If none of the above apply, it […]

Although this depends on the circumstances of each case, one factor is whether an employer is in a financial position to increase an offer. If it is a collective redundancy situation, there is no room to negotiate an increase in redundancy […]

As employment law solicitors, we frequently advise employees on redundancy pay, specifically that they try to negotiate the ex gratia settlement payment with their employer as early as possible, to maximise the amount they can get. This is especially the case if the employees facing redundancy have any unresolved grievances or appeals. These can be […]

It is down to hard negotiations and whether the employee really wants to incur such costs for negotiations. In saying that, however, there are key points […]
