Welcome to our inaugural employment webcast in which we take a bite sized look at some of the topical themes emerging in employment law.
The pandemic has created various workforce challenges, including the need to cut costs to survive in the post-lockdown world. Notwithstanding the existence of a variety of Government support schemes, including the ability to furlough employees, many employers are having to take the difficult decision to make redundancies. In this webcast, partner Paul Reeves and associate Natalie Edwards take employers through the basics of a fair redundancy exercise. The webcast covers a range of topics, including:
- How to determine who to make redundant
- The consultation process
- When collective consultation obligations will be triggered
- The costs associated with redundancy
- How to minimise reputational harm
