What this means if you're affected
If you work for Freedom Truespeed and your role is at risk, you have statutory rights under UK employment law. Your employer must follow a fair process before making anyone redundant.
Consultation: You're entitled to meaningful consultation before redundancy takes effect. This means at least one meeting where you're told your role is at risk and given the chance to respond. For larger redundancies (20+ roles), the consultation period is typically 30–45 days.
Settlement agreements: If your employer offers a settlement agreement (previously called a compromise agreement), you must receive independent legal advice before signing. Your employer should contribute toward legal fees. Don't sign under pressure — these agreements are designed to prevent future claims, which gives you leverage to negotiate.
Redundancy pay: If you qualify (generally two+ years' service), you're entitled to statutory redundancy pay based on your age, service length, and weekly pay. The statutory figure is often well below market for tech roles — many employers offer enhanced packages, especially if the process is rushed or selection is disputed.
Timeline: Most redundancy processes take 2–3 months from announcement to final dismissal, though this varies. Use this time to understand your entitlements, get legal advice, and negotiate if offered a settlement.
