Questions
Does it cover collective redundancies?
It is written for individual consultation. If you propose 20 or more redundancies at one establishment within 90 days, you must also notify the government (HR1) and consult collectively — take advice.
How do I work out statutory redundancy pay?
The consultation record and confirmation letter have fields for it. Use the free redundancy calculator on our Tools page or GOV.UK.
Can I use the scoring matrix for more than 5 people?
Yes. It is an editable Word table, so you can add columns.
Is it in the Employment Complete Bundle?
Yes.
