Leducate Explains: Redundancy
In this article, we would like to touch upon the basics of employment rights and what redundancy is.
Some ideas of what to include:
What is Redundancy?
How does the law define it?
What does it mean to be made redundant?
Is redundancy different to leaving a job in another way? Why?
What are your legal rights when facing redundancy?
Where can you seek advice?
The above are guides of what we think will fit well in the article but are not prescriptive. The aim of the article is to give the reader an idea of what redundancy is and what it means for the person being made redundant.
NOTE - This article does stray very closely to the political. It should be noted that this series is purely informative, and should not take any particular opinion, good or bad.
The article should be 750 - 1000 words and should be an accessible explanation of the issue, in simple terms for to engage 16-18-year-olds without a legal background.
NOTE: We have found that it is essential for articles of this kind to be written with limited legal terms, and to be clearly defined when they are used, to make them as accessible as possible. We would ask, therefore, to limit complex legal jargon to ensure that the article is easily digestible by the targeted audience.
Remember - The law can be scary, at Leducate we hope to make it as accessible as possible!
