    At the hearing, both the employee and employer will have the opportunity to present their position regarding the previous decision.

    Depending on the employer's redundancy policy, the employee will present their appeal first, including interviewing any witnesses or reviewing any documents. Then the employer will present their position, including the measures they have taken to avoid redundancy (eg efforts to seek redeployment, reduction of overtime hours, and considering voluntary redundancies).

    The hearing will then be closed, with the outcome to be communicated to the employee as soon as possible.

  • What happens if the appeal against redundancy is successful?

    If a redundancy appeal is successful, the employee will keep their role with the company. Continuity of employee benefits and whether the employee will need to return any redundancy should be covered by the employer's policy on redundancy and appeals.
