I was made redundant a few months ago and have since launched a tribunal action. I was selected for redundancy largely based on the low score I received for my absence record. They only considered absence records for the 12 months prior to the redundancy, which is fair enough, but the only time I was ever absent in my 4 years of service was actually in those 12 months, and that absence was due to work-related stress (all relevant sick-lines were forwarded at the time).

There are other issues about the selection criteria, but regarding this one issue - is it entirely fair and proper?
