Helping you to remain competitive in changing market conditions ...
Restructuring or Downsizing
From time to time, for many reasons businesses need to restructure, downsize or reorganise in order to remain competitive; sometimes this means the need to make one or more employees redundant.
We know that this is a very stressful time for everyone involved, especially if you're not sure how such a process should be managed in order to avoid future legal claims and how to minimise the impact on your team.
We can advise you on all aspects of redundancy, from identifying the business case, to determining selection pools and selection criteria as well as the required consultation process; we'll even conduct the meetings with your employees with you, or for you if you prefer.
Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment), TUPE
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations apply to businesses where they buy or sell the assets of another company or where functions are outsourced or insourced.
There are significant obligations on employers where TUPE applies and failure to meet these obligations can lead to an automatically unfair dismissal claim being filed with an Employment Tribunal against you.
If you are thinking about buying a part of another business, selling part of yours, involved in outsourcing services from other businesses or outsourcing part of yours, we can advise you on how to remain within TUPE regulations.
