Time to say Goodbye
Thursday 14th October 2004
at 222 Gray's Inn Road, London WC1X 8XF

In recent years, redundancy procedures have become increasingly complex, with different legislation covering individual and collective redundancies, and the advent of the statutory dismissal and disciplinary procedures. The possibility of claims not only for unfair dismissal but for a general failure to consult have put a greater emphasis on getting the procedure right. In this seminar, we will be providing a practical guide to managing the redundancy process.
