With the UK Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) due to end on 31 October 2020, businesses relying on the scheme to pay wages may now have to consider making redundancies. It is important that


employers start to consider the timing of any collective redundancy process. If the employer is proposing


to dismiss 20 or more employees in a 90-day period, they will need to collectively consult with representatives of those employees for at least 30 days before the first of the dismissals takes effect. Tis means that if you intend to make 20 to 99 employees redundant in time for the closure of the CJRS, you need to have started the collective consultation process by Tursday 1 October. If the employer is proposing


to dismiss more than 100 employees in a 90-day period, they will need to collectively

consult with representatives of those employees for at least 45 days before the first of the dismissals takes effect. Tis means that if you


intend to make more than 100 employees redundant, in time for the closure of the CJRS, you will need to have started the collective consultation process by Tuesday 15 September 2020. Te collective consultation period begins with a formal letter to the representatives setting out specific information


to comply with the consultation legislation, such


as the numbers of


employees affected, the potential pools and the selection criteria. If you have questions about


the redundancy process or the closure of the CJRS, please get in touch with our Employment Team.
