The right path for redundancy and restructuring

Company restructuring and reorganisation is an essential part of business planning, in good times and bad. 

The gradual winding down of the government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) is likely to be a catalyst for many businesses to review their team structures and staffing needs, ensuring business continuity and retention of key employees. 

However, businesses need to minimise the risk of potential employment claims. Firstly, the definition of redundancy must be met and it’s important to show that the business has explored other options to avoid redundancies.
