Redundancy

Page updated: 17/08/2026

We are committed as far as possible to providing a stable and secure working environment to you.  However, there may be times where our roles, work, new technology and organisational changes which then requires redundancies. 

You are redundant if you are dismissed because:

  • We stop or intend to stop the business or service for which you were employed or the place where you were employed; or

  • The need for you to carry out particular work for the business or service or the place where you were employed, has stopped or reduced or closed or is expected to stop or reduce or close.

It does not apply in cases where Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment (TUPE) has been identified.
