collective redundancies

Collective redundancies occur when a company needs to decrease its workforce significantly, usually due to economic reasons or organizational restructuring, involving multiple employees at once. This process requires specific legal procedures, including consultation with employee representatives or unions, to ensure fairness and transparency. The goal is to manage the reduction respectfully, providing appropriate notice, support, and, where applicable, redundancy payments. Collective redundancies aim to handle workforce reductions systematically while protecting employees' rights and minimizing adverse impacts.
