The safe way to cut staff costs

Article Abstract:

Redundancy or change in employment terms require proper legal handling of the terms and conditions of the employment contract, particularly when an organization is faced with implementing cost-effective measures. Possible changes in the contract terms should be examined. If introduction of change cannot be enforced, incorporation of collective agreements may be considered. Employee dismissal would involve redundancy, unfair dismissal, breach of contract, union consultation and informing the Department of Social Security. The employer should consult with the employee to avoid an unfair dismissal.
