Redundancy Consultancy
Making staff redundant is never easy, get it wrong however and it could cost your business significant sums, in management time and compensation payouts.
Many businesses only take advice when their redundancy programme goes wrong or when an employee disputes the grounds under which they are being made redundant. We can help with that, providing legal advice and support or mediation options for settling the dispute.
Preventing redundancy conflict and disputes
Unlike law firms however Human Law Mediation prefers to take a proactive approach with advice on how to prevent redundancy disputes and conflict.
Our clients benefit from advice on a full range of issues including:
- The strategic considerations for making staff redundant asking such questions as what will be the long and short term impact on the business be? Have all the alternatives really been considered and is there another way?
- Preparing letters and other communications to staff, getting the tone and message right, avoiding ambiguity and briefing managers on how to answer any questions.
- Advice on the legal requirements including the formal consultation process, the invitation of volunteers and the opportunity to appeal. There are some tricky details here and getting it wrong can create problems and delay things.
- The selection process for redundancy using objective selection criteria and avoiding claims of discrimination.
- Compliance with all stages of the organisation’s dismissal procedures.
- Best practice in allowing employees to seek suitable alternative employment or obtain training and providing other forms of outplacement support.
- The requirements for redundancy payments, statutory or otherwise.
Getting the right advice, at the right time will save you time, money and stress.
