Real examples of cited answers from the Employment Law specialist.
What’s the minimum redundancy consultation period for 50 employees?
When proposing to dismiss 20–99 employees within 90 days for redundancy, collective consultation must begin at least 30 days before the first dismissal. For 100 or more, this extends to 45 days.
Consultation must be with appropriate representatives and must cover ways to avoid dismissals, reduce numbers, and mitigate consequences.
TULRCA 1992, s.188Can we dismiss an employee on long-term sick leave for 9 months?
Long-term absence can be a potentially fair reason under the capability ground (ERA 1996, s.98(2)(a)). However, procedural fairness is critical — you must obtain a medical prognosis, consider reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010, consult the employee, and explore alternative roles before dismissing.
Dismissal without a fair process is likely to be unfair regardless of the length of absence.
