We have been asked by a number of employees if an employee could be made redundant whilst off sick. The answer is yes. This can be done if the reason for the redundancy is fair and the redundancy has nothing to do with the employee being off sick. However, employers must always proceed with caution and take legal advice.
If you require legal advice on redundancy law or unfair dismissal, please contact RT Coopers at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com or visit one of the following pages on employment law:
