Redundancies
“I just don’t need him any longer. Surely that’s all there is to it?” “The role’s gone. Do I really have to consult?” “I thought last in first out was still the way to go. How have I ended up with this claim?”
It's best not to be complacent…
There are traps everywhere. Potentially expensive ones. Are you sure you can prove you need fewer employees? Are your consultation plans adequate? Have you cast your selection pool net wide enough, and are your selection criteria bulletproof? And what about that new role – is it a vacancy in all but name?

Wherever possible, I will speak with you straight away, or return your call or answer your email on the same day. I believe in providing prompt, practical guidance — not keeping you waiting for appointments when an early steer can make all the difference.
Be prepared…
Take a step back, give it some careful thought and take some judicious professional advice. Talk to the affected employees. Explain your position, listen to the reaction, and make a reasonable decision. Think about softening the blow – a financial incentive with a well timed Settlement Agreement may make all the difference.
…and if in doubt, give me a call.
You won’t want to relive an already painful process in the employment tribunal. Get in touch now and I’ll help you avoid the problems.
