This webinar looks at the impact of social media in today’s workplace and the issues employers and employees need to consider regarding it.

This webinar focuses on what the terms of an employment contract are and the law around how and when an employer can vary these terms.

For redundancy to be fair there must be a genuine need for redundancy and the employer must follow a fair process in carrying it out.  Where there are many employees involved, trade unions and employees should be consulted properly.

Before beginning any redundancy (and during the consultation process), an employer should think about whether it can avoid making redundancies or reduce the number of redundancies.  Employers also need to carefully think about how the employees will be chosen for redundancy.  If they don’t, they may face claims of unfair dismissal.

The way that staff are chosen should be fair and follow an agreed selection process if the organisation has one.  If there isn’t an agreed process in place, the employer must make sure there is no discrimination, that staff are chosen fairly, and in a way that can be checked.
