Uncertain outlook

The toughening economic climate means that employers will be obliged to consider whether they can sustain their current numbers of employees.

Redundancy is one of the most traumatic experiences an employee may experience, while for employers redundancy announcements will often have an adverse impact on morale, motivation and productivity. It is also essential for employers to handle the redundancy process correctly to avoid claims for unfair dismissal.
