Questions
Common questions
Not covered here? Ask us directly and we will get back to you.
Should we speak to you before telling anyone?
Often it helps to talk things through first, in confidence, so that you are clear on your options before you speak to your team.
Can you help if we are only considering it?
Yes. Many employers get in touch while they are still deciding.
Is redundancy support the same as TUPE support?
No. TUPE concerns the transfer of a business or service. If that is your situation, see our TUPE support.
