Employment – redundancy scoring

If employers are facing a true redundancy situation, then they have to proceed reasonably, identifying a pool of employees from whom the redundancies will be selected and then devising criteria by which to score them. The lowest scoring employees are made redundant



The Employment Tribunal will be keen to make sure that the criteria are fair and a 2010 case has shown that were the test is subjective (e.g. flexibility) rather than objective (e.g. timekeeping) then an explanation might be necessary, even if this is just a few notes by the assessor in the comments box beside the scores
