When the time comes to streamline your business, making redundancies can be the hardest part of the process. The regulations surrounding the redundancy procedure can feel like a minefield of potential litigation.

Making sure you follow the rules can not only protect you from costly tribunals, but make the whole process less emotional for all involved.

Perhaps the most important consideration is to keep your employees informed at all times. Failure to consult with employees, or their representatives, throughout the redundancy process not only leads to uncertainty and fear within the workforce, but will almost certainly make any redundancies "unfair" – paving the way for expensive tribunals.

Secondly, it is important to remember that it is the "job" that becomes redundant – not the "person". Contrary to popular opinion, it is perfectly legal to take on new staff whilst others are being made redundant.

Once the need to make redundancies has been established, Recrion can help you through this difficult and potentially highly emotional task, fraught with complex legal obligations. As a professional redundancy consultancy, Recrion can offer professional and sensitive assistance with all elements of the redundancy procedure; from choosing your selection criteria and notifying those at risk, to calculating redundancy "packages" and offering follow-up support for those whose positions become obsolete. And if the worst should happen, our expert legal advisors can offer you complete support at tribunal, giving you the best chance of a positive outcome.
