Welcome to the third in our series of short podcasts from the https://www.traverssmith.com/services/advisory/employment/ (Employment law team). Our podcasts are designed to give a basic overview of different areas of employment law, either as a refresher or by way of learning for those newer to HR. In this episode https://www.traverssmith.com/people/anna-west/ (Anna West) and https://www.traverssmith.com/people/hannah-bates-martens// (Hannah Bates-Martens) look at different redundancy scenarios and how you go about pooling and selecting employees for redundancy: What are the different redundancy scenarios that can arise? In which scenario would you need to pool employees? What does "bumping" mean in a redundancy situation? How do selection criteria and scoring work for the employees in the pool? What happens after the initial selection?
