Given the current economic climate, many employers are looking to cut costs. High on the list are those relating to staff. Generally, this means lay-off, short-time working and redundancy.

However, simply having the need to make payroll savings isn’t enough - you have to follow the correct procedures, consult with staff and, where appropriate, make them a payment. If you don’t do all of this, then the cost-cutting exercise could actually cost you more in tribunal awards.

Fortunately, this Special Report - Recession Planning for Employers - is here to guide you through the process.

In seven easy-to-read sections it explains all you need to know to play it safe. Everything from alternatives to redundancy, to avoiding a tribunal claim is covered.

Plus, it includes twelve highly practical documents to back up the advice and further strengthen your position. Amongst others there’s a redundancy policy, a redundancy termination letter, a payments ready reckoner and a set of redundancy selection criteria.
