Collective Redundancy Consultations
The redundancy process becomes more complex when 20 or more redundancies are proposed at one establishment during a period of 90 days – when this occurs, you must follow ‘collective consultation’ rules and consult with employee representatives.
This applies to all businesses and not just those in the public sector or who recognise a trade union. Getting this wrong can lead to expensive legal claims for a protective award (compensation).
In this training session, we look at:
- When the legal requirement to collectively consult with employee representatives applies.
- The steps that employers should take.
- When consultation should start.
- What the legal requirements are.
- Practical guidance on how to run the consultation process.
- What is required when putting employee representatives in place.
Delivered by experienced employment lawyers, we provide expert guidance and best practice advice to help you better understand the legal and practical issues you will face, and how to achieve the right outcomes for your business.
What are the benefits of this training session?
