HR Fact: Understanding Redundancy Consultation Requirements
Redundancy can be one of the most difficult situations a business faces. However, it must always be handled fairly, legally, and with proper consultation.
If you’re considering making redundancies, UK law requires employers to:
Consult with affected employees before any final decisions are made.
Provide a clear business reason for the redundancy.
Follow fair selection and notice procedures.
Where 20 or more employees may be affected within a 90-day period, collective consultation rules apply. Failure to follow them can result in protective awards of up to 90 days’ pay per employee.
At Consensus HR, we guide SMEs through every step of the redundancy process — ensuring compliance, fairness, and business continuity.
Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Redundancy is never easy, but handled correctly it protects both your people and your reputation. We make sure employers follow the law while treating staff with respect.”
