Redundancy – Scoring Fairness
Following on from my redundancy pool/bumping blog the Employment Appeal Tribunal has handed down another important decision relating to redundancy procedures.
This case makes clear that for there to be a fair consultation process in a redundancy exercise (which has involved selection from a redundancy pool using scoring criteria) it is necessary for the employer to:-
- give the employee an explanation for their scoring;
- provide the employee with a meaningful chance to comment on their scores.
Employers should ensure that they comply with these requirements.
