If your company decides to retain someone who does not meet the criteria you may have a good cause to complain it really depends on your own track record at work.
But why ask a hypothetical question? Best wait and see which way the winds blows, and if indeed they do retain someone over you who does not meet the criteria, then you may well have good cause to pursue a case for unfair dismissal, Meantime my advice is to sit tight; tail down, head up and get on with your work. No point in getting all steamed up about it at this stage of the proceedings, though I can appreciate how you must be feeling.
Good luck and I hope sincerely that you are not made redundant. However, if you are you could benefit financially.

The company can dismiss employee ,if they are not offering reasonably good service,attendance and discipline.Before dismissal a show cause notice has to be issued including all deficiencies giving specific time to reply.If reply is not satisfactory or no reply is received comany can dismiss.You can fight in Labour Court or Regular Court.In your case out of 7 days 5 days you are not available,the rest is saturday and sunday(holiday).Will any body employ a person who is NOT prepared
do any work.Will any Court will oblige him?Unsatisfactory leave record alone is sufficient for dismissal.

If the company set the criteria then they should abide by the criteria. Usually they ask for voluntary redundancies first then it is usually shortest service if they cannot offer you another job within the company. If you feel that something is amiss then go to your nearest citizens advice bureau who will advise you and if something is wrong they will fight the case on your behalf for free.

In the UK there are procedures laid down in law that a company must follow when making employees redundant. You could look at the relevant website of a trade union (even if you are not a member) which might explain your rights.

The law varies depending on what state, province, or country you live in. Some jurisdictions are fairly strict in interpreting constructive dismissal laws, others don't bother. While you may theoretically have legal "rights", it's usually cheaper and easier to just look for another job.

can't do anything as long as you're paid a big severance pay.
