What is Redundancy Consultation?

The legally mandated process in UK employment law where employers must consult with affected employees and their representatives before making redundancies, with specific timelines and requirements depending on the number of proposed dismissals.

Why it matters in hiring

Redundancy Consultation comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
