Redundancy and Business Reorganisations
Regardless of current economic conditions, the majority of businesses will experience a need to expand or reduce the extent of their activities at one time or another. On those occasions when reductions or reorganisations become necessary, there are a flood of considerations that a responsible employer will need to reflect upon.
For even the most experienced employers, embarking on a redundancy procedure can be a daunting exercise and, as with many areas of employment law, what appear to be relatively straightforward procedures regularly contain a variety of pitfalls for the unwary employer who gets it wrong.
Our team will be able to advise and help you decide whether and, if so, where cuts or changes need to be made, advising on the necessary steps to consult with your workforce and implement the reduction or reorganisation and whether or not there may be other viable alternatives. We will also be able to advise and help you plan for the future, to ensure that reductions and reorganisations do not go too far, in order to sustain the future of your business.
We will always strive to provide you with practical, commercially viable and sensible advice, that does not lose sight of the prevailing conditions affecting your business, and which will help you to prepare for and manage the process efficiently and fairly, minimising the risk of Employment Tribunal claims and disruption to the workforce generally.
