Why this script is necessary

The purpose of a Final Individual Redundancy Consultation Meeting Script Template is to provide a structured framework for conducting the final consultation meeting with an employee who is at risk of redundancy.

The script helps guide the conversation between the employer and the employee, ensuring that all relevant topics are covered in a sensitive and professional manner. It allows for the exploration of potential alternatives, addressing any concerns or questions the employee may have, and providing them with necessary information about the redundancy process, their rights, and entitlements. The template aims to ensure a fair and transparent consultation process, supporting the employee through a challenging time and complying with relevant employment laws and regulations.

Additionally, the script provides a consistent approach for handling redundancy consultations, promoting clarity and understanding for all parties involved.

  • Employment Rights Act 1996: Provides guidelines on the redundancy consultation process, including individual consultations and the right for employees to be informed about the reasons and selection criteria for redundancy.

  • Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992: Applies to collective redundancies and outlines the consultation requirements for employers when making multiple employees redundant.

  • Equality Act 2010: Ensures fair treatment during the redundancy process, prohibiting discrimination based on protected characteristics.

  • ACAS Code of Practice on Handling Redundancy: Offers best practices for employers to follow during the redundancy process, including individual consultations.

  • Data Protection Act 2018: Ensures that employee data related to redundancy consultations is handled securely and confidentially.
