    Is this legal?

    So my husband's employer has made it known this morning they are making 10 people redundant.

    Fair enough the company is £3 Million in debt according to Companies House.

    This is the issue.

    The employer is operating with full overtime and you get a bonus on top if you do 8 hours overtime.

    Surely if the overtime is still going can they make people redundant?

    I always thought under Employment Law, that you had to take preventive measures like stopping the overtime before laying anyone off?

    The company needs to do everything it can to mitigate job losses.

    However has the company set out what jobs are being affected by the redundancies and are these related to the area of the business where the overtime is happening?

      Not as far as I know, they just chose 10 people at random to lay off.

        They still need to go through a consultation process. What if any consultation has happened?
