Birmingham Employment Law changes

The Collective Consultation Period is being Reduced to 45 Days.

Ferdinand Kelly advices that this affects our Birmingham and national clients. As of the 6^th April there will be a major change to employment law where an employer seeks to make 100 or more staff redundant. The change in legislation is designed to :

 improve the quality of consultation

 ensure employers can restructure effectively to respond to changing market conditions

 balance the interests of redundant employees with those who remain.

Acas will issue a non-statutory code of practice that will address the key principles of redundancy consultation.

Any firms who are looking to restructure after the 6th of April need to familiarise themselves with the new rules and if they are in any doubt or need any assistance seek out the help of a professional.

Here at Ferdinand Kelly our specialist employment law department can help you review your employment policies and also provide expert help with restructuring and redundancies.

Based in Smethwick, West Midlands we are ideally situated to cover Birmingham and the surrounding area.
