Making Redundancies

2008 has proved to be a difficult year for many businesses, with the credit crunch and rising prices causing companies to rethink their future strategy. Some organisations are finding it necessary to re-structure in order to remain competitive, which can involve redundancies or changes to employees’ terms and conditions of employment.

The redundancy process can be complex and it is vital that it is managed well to avoid costly mistakes. It is generally more cost effective to seek advice at the outset to ensure that the process is handled correctly and effectively. Frettens specialist Employment Team provide a redundancy package which includes:

• an initial advisory meeting;
• a thorough step by step guide to the correct redundancy process;
• a complete set of template letters to employees to enable you to carry out the redundancy process.

This service is inexpensive, which is obviously of vital importance to a business facing redundancies. The redundancy package outlined above is a comprehensive toolkit to enable you to complete your redundancies efficiently and lawfully. The above package costs £550 + VAT and is based on a situation where it is envisaged that less than 20 redundancies will be made. As many employers will know, getting things wrong can be much more costly.
