Frequently Asked Questions
I need to make changes, but where do I start?
Whilst there is plenty of advice available via the internet, including redundancy pay calculators and advice from ACAS, the need to restructure can still seem like a daunting prospect. There are both legal and practical considerations to consider. James House HR will discuss your needs in full with you and we will jointly decide on a plan and suitable timescales. We will then advise you throughout the process and provide practical help in dealing with the redundancy consultation process.
What are the common mistakes that employers make when dealing with restructure and redundancy matters?
The commonest mistake is to fail to make a plan for life after the restructure. Whilst the legal considerations, in particular employee consultation and redundancy packages, are very important, it is essential that when the redundancy process is concluded you have a strong organisation able to face future challenges.
