Redundancy Defined
LIFO is not used these days in any properly regulated employment, it is an old TUC favourite form the shipyards.Basically an employer has the right to make choices from a pool of similarly qualified employees if no one wishes to go voluntarily.The choice can be made from various criteria which can include length of service, relevant experience sickness absence etc all of which should ideally be agreed in advance with the relevant trade union recognised for collective bargaining or staff association.Obviously inadmissable criteria are sex, age race et al.
