Collective redundancy and fire and rehire.
This consultation is looking to obtain views on ways to strengthen the collective redundancy framework and protections for employees against fire and rehire practices.
The government are proposing to increase the maximum period of the protective award that a tribunal can award, considering two options:
- increase the protective award that a tribunal can award from 90 to 180 days
- remove the cap on the protective award entirely
This consultation will close on 2 December 2024
