Normally in British English the phrase "made redundant" implies there is a payment made to the departing employees, normally of several months salary. The phrases "sacked", "fired" and "let go" do not imply that. It is unclear which applies from the article - it sounds like lay-offs in prose, but the words "made redundant" muddy this.

The phrases "sacked", "fired" and "let go" do not imply that. The same is generally true in American English, with "laid off" replacing "made redundant" and "sacked" being uncommon for the other alternative (but "fired" and "let go" being quite common.)
