Redundacy selection methods

[andburg]

Not me luckily but a colleague is at risk of redundancy.

The business are scoring people's skills as a "fair" method of selection but have said they are reducing his scores due to a period of sick he had last year, this was fully signed off sick leave paid with a note from his GP.

To me this appears to be discriminatory, any expert advice?

Thanks guys.

no VR and he wouldn't want it either, had a month off with depression when his wife blindsided him, moved out and in with another man over a weekend.

I've paased him on that ACAS link.
