Webinar recording - Restructuring, redundancy and contractual variation
June 27, 2024
Restructuring is an important issue in the current economic climate. Institutions are facing uncertainty over reductions in their various funding streams with the continuing freeze on domestic student fees and the legacy of Brexit on international student recruitment.
It’s easy to see why many institutions are in the position where they may need to consider options to restructure their workforce, whether in terms of numbers or their contractual duties.
In this webinar we look at:
- when does change amount to a redundancy situation?
- when do you need to collectively consult?
- what are the different options available to you if you wish to change terms and conditions of employment and what is the impact of the collective bargaining process on this??
- how do you act reasonably in a redundancy situation or trying to effect a change to terms and conditions?
- what are the key legal risks and problem areas – and how can you best manage them?
