How to select employees for redundancy in a fair way, including selection criteria, selection pools and scoring.
Identifying the correct pool. Before selecting an employee for dismissal on the grounds of redundancy, the business must consider from which pool of employees redundancy selection should be made otherwise the dismissal is likely to be unfair.
Your employer should begin the selection process by identifying the group of employees at risk of redundancy, known as the “redundancy selection pool”. Usually an employer will keep the selection pool narrow, but the employees in the pool may want to argue it should have been wider.
During the redundancy process selection pools are often required to ensure things remain fair and legally above board. Where there is only one person performing a role and that role is redundant, a selection pool is not generally necessary.
Your employer should take two steps when considering the selection pool. Firstly, they should look at the area of the business that’s changing. That may be the geographical area (eg the warehouse in Coventry) or the job function (eg people working on the vehicle production line).

How your employer should select employees for redundancy, including selection criteria and pools.
Setting up a selection pool. You should set up a ‘selection pool’ if you’re planning to make one or more employees redundant. There may be exceptions to this if you’ve employed someone to carry out a very specific role. A selection pool is a way of grouping employees who are at risk of redundancy.
