Final Individual Redundancy Consultation Meeting Invitation
Further to our previous discussions regarding the proposed changes to the organisation and the potential impact on your role, I am writing to invite you to a final individual redundancy consultation meeting.
As you are aware, your role remains at risk of redundancy. The purpose of this meeting is to provide you with a further opportunity to discuss the proposal and to raise any remaining concerns, questions or suggestions before a final decision is made.

This letter provides a formal invitation to the final individual consultation meeting in a redundancy process. It is designed to make clear that the employee remains at risk of redundancy and that the purpose of the meeting is to give them a further genuine opportunity to comment before the employer reaches a final decision.
The letter explains that the organisation has reached the final stage of the individual consultation process without suggesting that the outcome has already been decided. This distinction is important when demonstrating that consultation remains genuine.
The invitation identifies the matters that may be discussed, including the proposed redundancy, any outstanding concerns, the employee's representations, alternatives to redundancy and any suitable alternative employment that may be available.
The employee is given reasonable notice of the meeting and is encouraged to consider any further information, questions or proposals they would like the organisation to take into account.
The meeting provides an opportunity to revisit whether the proposed redundancy can be avoided or reduced and whether there are any alternative roles or other arrangements that should be considered before a final decision is reached.
The letter makes clear that the meeting is not a redundancy outcome meeting and that no final decision has yet been made. If redundancy is subsequently confirmed, a separate written outcome should be issued.

No. This is an invitation to a final individual consultation meeting. It should make clear that the employee remains at risk of redundancy and that no final decision has yet been made.
The term can be used where the employer considers that the consultation process is reaching its conclusion and wants to give the employee a final opportunity to make representations before a decision is reached. The meeting must still be genuine and meaningful.
There is no statutory minimum notice period specifically prescribed for an individual redundancy consultation meeting. The employee should be given reasonable notice and sufficient opportunity to prepare. Employers should also follow any relevant contractual or internal requirements.
Yes. The employee should be given an opportunity to suggest ways in which the redundancy could be avoided or reduced and to raise any potential alternative employment or other proposal they believe should be considered.
There is no general statutory right to accompaniment at a redundancy consultation meeting, although Acas recommends that employers consider allowing employees to be accompanied. An employer's own policy, contract or collective agreement may provide a specific right.
