Does anyone know if it is true that if a company makes more than 100 people redundant they have to do a 90 day consultation thing or at least give them 90 days notice / pay ... ?

From the directgov link I've posted previously



If your employer is making 20 or more employees redundant in one establishment within a 90 day period, this is a collective redundancy.
If your employer is thinking about making collective redundancies, they have a duty to consult with the representatives of employees that could be affected. The representatives would be the employees’ trade union official. If there is no trade union official, the employer must make arrangements for the employees to elect their own representatives.
If your employer fails to consult the representatives then a claim may be made to an Employment Tribunal for a protective award (a monetary award of up to 90 days pay).

Just to add to what poosticks is saying, just another example really.

If there has been no consultation, then, irrespective of the number of jobs redundant there is a chance that you can claim the 90 day award. In other words you do not have to have over 100 redundant posts. It can be confusing because the 90 day consultation on redundancy applies when more than 100 jobs are to be lost.

They have made ALOT more than 100 people redundant in one go, we are taking further action ....

oh, and the redundancy payment was worked out from my normal weekly wage NOT the £380 limit as above, which is very good.
