About this lesson

The lesson also covers the specific conditions employers must meet to make a job redundant, what makes an alternative job offer reasonable, and the statutory protections employees have, including the two-year continuous service requirement and the right to claim redundancy pay within six months of dismissal. This content is essential for the employment law component of your qualification and directly relevant to exam questions testing your understanding of unfair dismissal procedures and redundancy law. You'll work through practical examples, such as when an employer can refuse to reinstate an employee or why offering a night shift instead of a day shift might not be a reasonable alternative. The lesson also covers key exceptions—such as when redundancy pay isn't available or when an employee can retain their redundancy claim during a trial period—and includes exam-standard multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge of automatically fair dismissal reasons and statutory notice periods.
