Managing Redundancy

by Alan Fowler

Published 1 September 1999
The issue of redundancy presents a uniquely moral, commercial and legal dilemma. This practical management handbook, originally a legal guide but broadened and updated, is designed to help the practitioner decide exactly what is best for both the organization and the individual. It covers the following issues: avoiding redundancy, including explanation of the alternatives; understanding what redundancy is, and how it relates to dismissal; handling individual redundancies; selecting employees for redundancy - fairly, legally and efficiently; redundancy compensation and how to calculate it; and caring for redundant employees.
