Restructuring and Redundancies
What is the difference between restructuring and redundancy?
Restructuring refers to reorganising a business, which may involve changes to roles, departments, or processes, and can sometimes lead to redundancy.
Redundancy occurs when an employee’s job is no longer needed due to reasons like business closure or downsizing.
While restructuring can result in redundancies, it may also involve redeploying staff or altering job roles without job losses. Redundancy law specifically focuses on the legal requirements for making employees redundant, including fair selection, consultation, and redundancy pay, whereas restructuring law focuses on business reorganisation and potential changes to roles and responsibilities.
