A redundancy notice must confirm the dismissal date, redundancy pay entitlement, and appeal rights. A fair redundancy requires a genuine redundancy situation and a fair selection process.

• Statutory redundancy pay = weekly pay × years service × age multiplier
• Minimum statutory notice: 1 week per year of service (max 12)
• Right to appeal within reasonable time (usually 5–10 days)
• Collective consultation required if 20+ redundancies in 90 days
• Failure to consult = automatic unfair dismissal
