Our employment team regularly advises employers on carrying out redundancies, whether managing a single redundancy or large-scale collective redundancy exercises.
The appropriate process will depend on many factors, including the reasons for the redundancy situation arising, the number and type of employee affected and whether the organisation recognises a trade union for collective consultation purposes.
We provide our clients with detailed and practical advice on redundancy procedures, including the selection criteria and consultation obligations, as well as entitlements to statutory or enhanced redundancy payments. Our aim is always to ensure that our clients are fully aware of the correct procedures required to reduce their risks and potential liabilities.
We can provide your employee representatives with training on carrying out the role of an employee representative in advance of a collective redundancy exercise. Our HR Consultancy Service can provide you with additional support in managing a redundancy process.
