Redundancy and re-organisation
At the start of 2010 there was cause for cheer with the announcement that in the 3 months to November 2009 unemployment fell, albeit modestly. Green shoots on the employment front? Perhaps, however it is widely felt that the trend will not be sustained if the economic recovery is bumpy. Thus there is the prospect of further job shedding in 2010.
A failure by employers to progress a fair redundancy/re-organisation process will result in damages awards in the employment tribunal. We would be happy to hold a free consultation with you about your business and redundancy needs. Call Seth Lovis & Co’s Employment Department on 020 7420 7020 or email enquiry@sethlovis.co.uk.
Services to Employers
Our services are retained by small and medium-sized businesses that seek straightforward, practical and cost-effective solutions. We advise on day-to-day issues such as recruitment and retention, contract and policy drafting, responsible behaviour at work, redundancy and dismissal and are readily available to give prompt advice if the matter is urgent. We can spend time at your offices with those responsible for HR, alerting you to impending legislation and the latest developments from the courts, minimising your exposure to risk.
Our aim is to minimise disputes. However there are occasions when a case goes to tribunal and you must serve your defence swiftly to preserve your position. You will not have much time to act and it is essential that you seek appropriate advice in the early stages. Our rates are competitive and we also operate a retainer scheme. If you would like to test the water, we would be pleased to meet with you for a free no-commitment consultation.
