Employee Rights
If your employer intends to make redundancies you are entitled to be consulted about them. You are entitled to be told:
The rules state that the consultation process should be done in good time and will vary, depending on the number of employees that are to be made redundant. If for some reason you feel that insufficient time has been allowed for consultation, you can complain to an employment Tribunal. This Tribunal has the power to award compensation to employees where the employer does not give a sufficient consultation period.
If there are between 20 and 99 employees to be made redundant from one place within a 90 day period then a consultation period of at least 30 days must be given before the first dismissal.
If there are 100 or more employees to be made redundant from one place within a 90 day period then a consultation period of at least 90 days must be given before the first dismissal.
