Dismissals and Redundancy

Reduce Emotional Strain in Dismissals and Redundancies with Expert Help

Navigating the complexities of dismissals and redundancy can be challenging for any business, especially those without a dedicated HR team. At Jamieson Law, we provide expert HR support to manage these sensitive situations effectively, ensuring compliance with the law and fairness in every process. 

If this is something you’re having to consider, the Jamieson Law team can provide the guidance and clarity you need to act fairly and confidently.   

  • Legal compliance: Dismissals and redundancies are governed by strict legislation which can be confusing to interpret and act confidently on.

  • Reducing emotional strain: Handling dismissals and redundancy processes can be emotionally charged. Our experienced team manages these processes with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity, reducing stress for both employers and employees and maintaining a respectful workplace environment. 
  • Streamlined processes: We take on the administrative burden of dismissals and redundancies, from drafting the necessary documentation to overseeing the correct procedural steps. We’ll ensure that every process is conducted fairly and without bias, good for business and those impacted. 
  • Consultative approach: Our team doesn’t just follow instructions—we advise and guide you at every step. We help you understand the potential risks and benefits of HR decisions, empowering you to make informed choices that support your business’s long-term goals.

Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees, ensuring fair treatment and compliance with regulations. As a business owner, it's essential to stay up-to-date with these laws, particularly as new legislation is being introduced under the new Labour government which will impact you.

Employee handbooks outline how things are done in the workplace. They typically cover important policies such as health and safety, holidays, sick leave, grievance and disciplinary procedures, equality, various types of leave, benefits, working hours, and more. They act as a one stop shop for your employees to find information and understand how your business operates.

Your employment contracts start right from the moment you issue an offer letter but it doesn’t stop there. Your employment contract should set out the key terms of employment for your new member of staff and should sign post them to your policies and handbook for more detailed insights. These contracts set the tone for your engagement and should reflect your business ethics and tone of voice.

If you don't have an internal HR team, outsourcing HR support is an excellent option for managing complex situations. Dismissals or redundancy processes are often emotionally charged and there is strict legislation governing what is and isn’t acceptable. Engaging with a legal partner like Jamieson Law alleviates much of the administrative burden, ensuring tasks are completed correctly and fairly.

TUPE or The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, protects employees' terms and conditions when a business or service provision is transferred to a new employer. This is often required in a business sale or merger and needs careful consideration and negotiation with the buyer.

An organisational restructure can impact everyone, departments or individuals in a business. Often the process aims to enhance company operations, add or remove resources to respond to changes in the market or economy, and sometimes to reduce costs ahead of a business event. This can be a challenging time where insightful legal support can create peace of mind that the process is fair and evenly handled.
