ACAS's annual statistics report for the year up to 31st March 2009 show increases of 27% in Unfair Dismissal claims; 37% in claims for breach of contract; and 58% in disputes about redundancy pay. ACAS will attempt to settle an employment claim to avoid the need for a full tribunal hearing.
The increase in claims reflects the increase in redundancies made due to the recession, and the difficulties faced by employers when conducting redundancy programmes.
Increasingly companies are considering alternatives to redundancies in an attempt to retain skilled staff for the anticipated upturn in the economy. There remain employment issues when considering options such as sabbaticals.
If you are considering either a restructuring/redundancy programme or a scheme to retain staff but without the same level of costs you may wish to have support from Stonebridge HR Consultants.
