Restructuring and Redundancies

Both redundancy and restructuring entail some changes that are typically made to a company’s organisational structure when it is under financial pressure.  Employers can get confused by the process and there are numerous areas where they can get it wrong. 

 

Any restructuring and redundancy process is difficult for employers and employees alike.  Employers are required by law to consult extensively on the need to reduce workforce roles or create new ones to better align with the business feature needs.  They also need to consult on pools for selection, selection criteria and application of that criteria, and suitable alternative employment.  

 

Getting the process wrong or failing to carry out a proper assessment to determine the reasons for the redundancy or making decisions too early in the process can be expensive, time consuming and harm the reputation of any employer.
