94 www.nasuwt.org.ukthat a change in circumstances permits, no matter whatstage the process has reached.)l ● Redundancy is a form of dismissal and employers should asa minimum:1. inform the employee in writing of the circumstances thatmay lead to their dismissal, including the reasons for theredundancy and why they have been selected;2. invite the employee to a meeting to discuss the issue andinform the employee of the decision and of their right ofappeal;3. if the employee wishes to appeal, hold an appealmeeting. The employee should be informed of the finaldecision.Members should be able to take a trade union representative orfriend to any meeting which may result in their dismissal byreason of redundancy and any appeal process.There are special rules under the Trade Union and LabourRelations (Consolidation) Act 1992 s188-192 whereby anemployer must inform and consult with the appropriate tradeunion(s) or employee representatives, where the employer isproposing to dismiss 20 or more employees at oneestablishment within a period of 90 days. Failure to inform andconsult may give rise to a claim for a ‘protective award’ to theET by the trade union, on behalf of the employees. Alternatively,if the employer fails to arrange for the election of an employeerepresentative for the purposes of consultation or where a tradeunion is not recognised by the employer, an individual employeecan bring a claim.Expert advice should be sought on potential redress to the ETin redundancy dismissal cases from the NASUWT RegionalCentre.Redundancy paymentsAn employee dismissed on the grounds of redundancy isentitled to a statutory redundancy payment, if s/he has thenecessary two years’ continuous employment to qualify. Thiscalculation is based on a week’s pay (capped at the statutorymaximum) and length of service. An employee may lose his/herstatutory redundancy pay if s/he unreasonably refuses an offerof suitable alternative employment. Some employers offerenhanced redundancy payments but this is discretionary.For teachers, if an individual receives an offer of suitablecomparable employment with any employer listed in theContinuity of Employment in Local Government etc ModificationOrder 1999 to start immediately within four weeks of the end ofthe previous employment, s/he will be ineligible for a redundancypayment. All LAs in England, Wales and Scotland are covered. Afull list is set out at Appendix C of the Burgundy Book.For advice and help ˚ Local Association ˚ Regional Centre ˚ National Executive
