    241 Collective Redundancy Consultation

    02/03/2026 | 8 mins.
    The government published two new ERA 2025 consultations this week. The first - and most significant - seeks views on a new organisation-wide threshold for collective redundancy consultation, with proposed trigger points ranging from 250 to 1,000 redundancies depending on the method chosen. The second consults on protecting workers from detriment for taking part in industrial action.

    Breaking - Unfair Dismissal Compensation Cap

    09/12/2025 | 26 mins.
    In this episode, Daniel Barnett considers the impact for employers and lawyers on the proposed removal of the cap for the unfair dismissal compensatory award.

    Important: this episode was recorded before the government’s amendments were considered by the House of Lords, so the content may become out of date if the House of Lords rejects the Commons’ amendments to the Employment Rights Bill.
