If an employer makes dramatic changes to the content of a job - does that constitute a redundancy situation?

The classic case of redundancy is where a business closes down altogether, or closes in the place where the employee works. But the concept is wider. An employee is also redundant if his dismissal is due to the fact that the business needs fewer employees to carry out ‘work of a particular kind’.

You can read the article as a pdf or on the website. It is written in a question and answer format and is designed to help test your knowledge of this area of law.
