Most employers handle redundancy properly. However, if you feel that you have been unfairly or improperly treated during the redundancy process then it is important that you acquire legal advice on your rights at the earliest possible stage.
In a redundancy situation an employer will be expected to consult with employees affected and carry out an objectively fair dismissal process. If an employer fails to do this it could lead to an unfair dismissal claim. Any such claim must be brought within three months of the date of dismissal.
Even if you consider that your employer has treated you fairly you may wish to acquire some legal advice as to the amount of redundancy payment you are entitled to.
