New employment rights blog – ‘More Redundancies – Less Time’; the reduction in the period for collective consultation
Perhaps one of the most draconian of the 2013 changes to employment law is the reduction in the period for consultation, effective from 6th April 2013, when an employer proposes to make large-scale redundancies.
As we have seen in the news in recent months, the downturn in the economy has hit even established businesses hard and we have read how the likes of Comet, HMV and Blockbuster have entered administration and have been forced to reduce their workforce.
To see the potential impact of what the reduction in the period for collective consultation could have, view our full employment rights legal blog.
