Description

The rules for reducing headcount have completely changed. Following the introduction of the Employment Rights Act 2025, handling a traditional redundancy process in 2026 is now a high-stakes legal minefield. A single procedural slip-up could cost your company thousands of pounds.

As an employer or small business owner, you cannot afford to get this wrong. Tribunals are issuing harsher financial punishments than ever before. If your business needs to cut costs or change direction, you must understand your options: Is a restructure a safer, smarter route than a high-risk redundancy process?
