Dismiss for redundancy
An employer must first dismiss an employee to make them redundant because redundancy is a type of dismissal. The employer must have a genuine reason for wanting to make the employee redundant, such as the business closing down or the employee no longer being needed. The employer must also follow a fair process, which includes consulting with the employee and offering them alternative employment if possible.
