MBL: Redundancy

If you’re facing redundancy due to the coronavirus crisis, what are your rights? If you're an employer needing to lay off staff, what are your obligations?

Are you worried you’re about to lose your job because of the coronavirus crisis? Has the job retention scheme kept you afloat since lockdown – but now your boss wants to let you go?
