Protective Awards: Your Guide to Navigating Collective Redundancy

Losing your job can feel like a bolt out of the blue, especially when it happens suddenly in a collective redundancy situation. If you find yourself in this scenario, and you feel your employer didn't uphold their legal duties, you could be eligible for a protective award claim. At Aticus Law, we're here to help you understand this process and support you in making your claim.

In situations where an employer plans to make more than 20 employees redundant at a single location, there's a legal obligation for them to conduct collective consultations with a recognised trade union or elected employee representatives. This obligation holds even if the company is entering administration, liquidation, or becoming insolvent.

Our dedicated team of employment law solicitors can help you bring a protective award claim if you believe your employer didn't follow these procedures.

Here's How We Can Help

In instances of large-scale redundancies, it's crucial to review whether your employer fulfilled their necessary legal obligations. Sometimes, companies can abruptly close their doors, leaving staff without notice and without any prior consultation. In other cases, the situation might not be as clear. Our role is to assess your situation and outline the best possible options for you.

If we find grounds for a protective award claim, we'll take your case to an employment tribunal. We can represent multiple employees simultaneously, simplifying the process for you and your former colleagues. If the company is insolvent, we'll need to get permission from the administrator first.

We will prepare your case thoroughly and present compelling evidence to the tribunal, demonstrating how your employer failed to meet their legal obligations. A favourable ruling could lead to an award of up to 90 days’ pay for you, although this may be capped at a set limit if the company is insolvent.
