In claims for unfair dismissal due to alleged redundancy, the burden of proof should be shared to enable an employee to have the cause of redundancy tried. In such a case, the employee should present evidence of an invalid cause ? such as personal reasons ? and the employer should account for the redundancy. With reference to their conflicting interests, the law favours the employer if the redundancy can be accounted for even if the employee maintains his or her position. This would have been reasonable practice if the employer?s evidence was subject to the same scrutiny as that of the employee but, as long as redundancy is considered a valid cause in itself, this is not the case.Redundancy does not come from nowhere, but it occurs when employers carry out their management decisions.

Fusioner och förvärv har varit ett populärt sätt för företag att växa sedan ett par decennier tillbaka. Sammanslagningar är ett potentiellt effektivt sätt för organisationer att öka marknadsandelar, skapa stordriftsfördelar, få tillgång till ny teknik eller öka intäkter. Samtidigt innebär de ofta omfattande organisatoriska förändringar, vilket enligt statistiken leder till att fler än varannan fusion eller förvärv slutar med att företagen skiljs åt. Omorganisationer kan skapa oro och konflikter, vilket i sin tur leder till lägre employee commitment bland de anställda. Employee commitment är den attityd som existerar hos den anställde när dennes identitet är i linje med själva organisationen eller när organisationens mål blir integrerade med individens personliga mål.Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur tre valda företag arbetat för att förbättra employee commitment i samband med en fusion eller ett förvärv.
