What information must be provided to employee representatives?

In cases of collective redundancies, you must disclose your proposals in writing to employee representatives. Included in your disclosure must be:

• Why you are making redundancies
• The number and roles of employees whom you plan to dismiss (e.g. 20 customer advisors)
• The total number of such employees currently working at your establishment (e.g. there are currently 50 customer advisors)
• The planned method of selecting people to dismiss
• The planned method of actioning the dismissals, along with the time period over which they will take place (e.g. ten notices to be issued in the next 90 days, and a further ten before the end of the year)
• The planned method of calculating the redundancy payments (not including statutory redundancy payments)

To help you construct your proposal to employee representatives, read the Acas guide or speak to Helix Law.
