It is great if you do all the right things in the right order when making redundancies, but do not simply rely on memories to support your business in the event of a redundancy tribunal claim. When you have consultation meetings, take a record and when alternative proposals are put to you, explain in writing why they are or are not acceptable.
Every part of the redundancy process should be documented, if your business needs help or advice on the documentation that should be carried out when making redundancies, please contact Employment Practice and Law.
