How to consult on an individual basis during a redundancy exercise

Employers must consult with employees on an individual basis regarding proposed redundancies, regardless of the number of employees that they propose to dismiss. New guidance from the HR & Compliance Centre "how to" section sets out the steps for employers to take when consulting employees individually as part of a fair redundancy procedure. 

It gives guidance on setting a timetable for consultation, including where the employer is also consulting employees collectively, and explains what should be discussed at individual consultation meetings.
