Description

We’re in a period of uncertainty for New Zealand business, which is causing a lot of companies to want to refocus their businesses and reduce costs.

However, just like any other dismissal, terminating employment for redundancy needs to be both substantively and procedurally justified. Getting these steps right can sometimes be very difficult as every restructuring is different.

This webinar will focus on all aspects of redundancy processes including:

• Identifying a restructuring while it is still at the “proposal” stage
• How employees are selected as at risk of redundancy
• Consulting with employees
• Taking feedback into account
• Whether redundancy compensation should be offered
• Minimising risk of employee claims

The webinar is suitable for all levels.
