Listen Later

How can employers safely restructure or make redundancies during this time of crisis?

The pandemic and resulting UK shut down has meant that businesses are   now under immense financial pressure.  For some, the furlough scheme might only go so far.  Employers are now considering re-opening with a   much reduced workforce.

This is the third of five Coronavirus Redundancy specials with LAW Group Legal Director Donald MacKinnon.  In this episode, Steph and Donald talk about the selection process in a redundancy scenario, claims for unfair dismissal as a result and discrimination angles including disability, maternity and pregnancy.

A 20-minute easy listen to give business owners and those responsible  for redundancy exercises an overview of the key issues in any downsizing initiative post-lockdown.
