Redundancy and reorganisation

New technologies or processes can result in the need to reduce your workforce. This can be a stressful time for the employer as well as of course for the employee.  Certain steps must be followed to ensure the redundancy is fair in law. Consultation procedures also apply if 20 or more employees are being made redundant within a 90-day period.  

A reorganisation of work may not result in a direct reduction of employees however. Our experienced and helpful Employment Law team can provide you with strategic advice on redeployment, including the drafting of any new contracts that may require different terms and conditions. We can also guide you through the redundancy process and ensure that you act in the best interests of your business and your staff.
