Redundancy challenge journey

Challenge an unfair redundancy through internal appeal, ACAS conciliation, and Employment Tribunal.

This page covers UK-wide law. Where local procedure differs (e.g. courts or tribunals), this is noted in the relevant section.

Who Uses This Journey

Employees made (or being made) redundant who believe the process was unfair, the selection criteria discriminatory, or the consultation inadequate.

Check: was there meaningful individual/collective consultation? Was selection criteria fair? Were suitable alternative roles considered?

Appeal the dismissal in writing within the company's policy timeframe (usually 5–10 days).

Mandatory.

Deadline: 3 months less 1 day from EDT

Claim on grounds of unfair selection, inadequate consultation, or failure to consider alternatives.
