Making the decision to start the redundancy process is never easy for any business. It could be as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic or perhaps a change in your internal processes which makes a role obsolete. Whatever the reason, it may be the best thing to do for the good of the business and workforce who will remain.
What is really important is to recognise as an employer that you have a number of obligations to your staff when initiating the process. If not followed correctly staff can claim unfair dismissal which can be timely and costly to your business, so it is vital to understand this before you start the process.
