April 2013

From 6th April 2013 the statutory collective redundancy consultation period decreases:

Where an employer makes proposals on or after 6 April to dismiss as redundant 100 or more employees within a period of 90 days or less, the consultation period is reduced from at least 90 days before the first dismissal takes effect to at least 45 days before the first dismissal takes effect.

The minimum consultation period where the employer is proposing to dismiss between 20 and 99 employees remains at 30 days.
