Fair redundancy process

27 replies

It's likely that my firm will be making me redundant shortly, with my finishing date being in just over 12 weeks' time.

My role at the moment is as a trainee, and I'll be qualifying following that period of training. The only vacancies in the firm right now are for qualified people who've been practising a few years, not for an NQ with no post-qualification experience (and in areas I've never worked in before, so have no experience either pre- or during training). There's no guarantee that any suitable job will arise in the near future either.

I've got 5 years' service with the firm as of this month.

I think I know what they need to do in relation to making me redundant, but if somebody could please confirm it for me that'd be great (particularly in relation to what happens if a suitable role DOES come up in the next 12 weeks, especially if it's before the firm starts its redundancy process).

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for clarifying, lougle. That does appear different to how DragonMamma's firm deals with it though.

And how you've explained it is how I thought it should work with my very limited exposure to employment law.
