Seek an employee's consent to withdrawal of redundancy notice
Key points
After having given an employee notice of redundancy, an employer may have a change of circumstances that render the redundancy unnecessary.
While the employer cannot withdraw the redundancy notice unilaterally, it can, during the notice period, seek the employee's agreement to withdraw the notice.
While the employee will be under no obligation to agree to this, where they refuse the offer, this may affect their entitlement to a statutory redundancy payment.
