Event Description

In addition to the increase in the National Minimum Wage (NMW) as part of the government’s plan to ‘Make Work Pay’, the Autumn 2024 budget introduced several measures that will have a negative impact on business costs, including increased employer National Insurance contributions.

These changes may pose significant challenges for employers who might find themselves planning redundancies to mitigate rising costs associated with employing staff. Whilst redundancy is a potentially fair reason for dismissal, it can be a tricky area to navigate and getting it wrong can leave the employer exposed to costly claims of unfair dismissal, and in some cases, unlawful discrimination. Managing redundancy can be a daunting prospect, but it doesn’t need to be with the right advice and support.
