Your rights on redundancy

The credit crunch is proving to be a difficult time. With so many companies announcing job cuts, the fear of redundancy is very real for many people. With jobs no longer guaranteed, people are concerned about their rights if they are made redundant.

Joanne Lezemore, Senior Lawyer offers the following advice to anyone worried about their job:

"The threat of redundancy is a very stressful time and it's important that people understand their what their rights are.  Anyone who is being told they are being made redundant should always seek legal advice.
