Redundancy

Yes, you can be made redundant whilst on shared parental leave. You will have the same redundancy rights as your colleagues.

Your Rights

• You must be offered any suitable alternative vacancy.
• The alternative employment must be offered under a new contract.
• The new contract must begin on the day after the previous contract ends.
• The terms of the new contract must not be substantially less favourable than the previous contract.
• The new role must be suitable for you and appropriate for you to do in the circumstances.
• Where a suitable vacancy exists and is not offered, dismissal will be automatically unfair.
