Immunity from redundancy selection
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?
Overview
Disabled staff are not immune to redundancy.
For Employees
You can't demand immunity. You CAN demand the selection criteria doesn't disadvantage you (e.g. absence records).
For Employers
Redundancy must be fair. You cannot simply "save" someone because they are disabled if they score lowest.
Key Considerations
- Selection criteria adjustment.
- Protected period (rare).
