Legal Insights

Compliance

This Redundancy appeal meeting invitation letter template incorporates relevant UK laws and HR standards, including those listed below:

There is no legal obligation to offer an appeal, but it's good practice to offer employees the chance to appeal if they feel they were selected unfairly for redundancy.

An appeals process can help to:

  • give you early warning the redundancy selection process might have been unfair and the chance to correct it.
  • deal with and resolve an employee's complaint, avoiding an employment tribunal claim.
  • show a tribunal that you have followed a fair process.

If an employee is successful in an appeal, it's likely to mean another employee will have to be made redundant in their place. This could be a very difficult situation, especially if the employee was previously told they were safe from redundancy.

You should:

  • prepare for how to handle the situation sensitively with the employees affected.
  • keep communication clear and open.
  • offer support.

If an employee thinks they've been unfairly selected or there was a problem in the redundancy process, you should give them the chance to appeal within a reasonable timescale of receiving their redundancy notice. For example, 5 days could be reasonable.

The employee should tell you in writing the reasons for their appeal.
