Of all the problems facing employers, redundancy/dismissal rank amongst the most awkward and sensitive areas to deal with. Potentially the risk for getting the process wrong by following incorrect procedures is high.

Employers are often tempted to take short cuts or simply skip parts of the process; running high risks of becoming involved in litigation claims.

And it isn’t just a question of treating outward-bound employees fairly and lawfully; there is also the question of the effect a messy redundancy or dismissal has on the rest of your staff.

We advise on how to handle the processes properly, so everyone is fairly treated and general morale and business efficiency isn’t affected. In fact, in many cases, we’re able to suggest ways of minimising redundancies and reducing the impact they have on your business.
