News in brief
More than a third of employers are considering making redundancies in the next six months, but many risk sizeable claims for damages because they are unaware of the laws on redundancy consultation, according to a survey by law firm Pinsent Masons. Some 84% of respondents who were considering making redundancies in the next six months were unaware of the correct length of time required to consult with employees, and 28% did not know that failing to consult with employees could result in a penalty against the company.
