🕵🏽🔍Case Spotlight: Brown and Others v. SGS UK Ltd

twitter icon
In the tribunal case of Ms. S Brown and Others v. SGS UK Ltd, the claimants successfully argued that they were unfairly dismissed. The tribunal found several critical errors made by SGS UK Ltd:

1. Failure to Follow Redundancy Procedures: The company did not adhere to a fair and transparent redundancy process, which led to the tribunal ruling in favor of the claimants.

2. Inadequate Consultation: There was a lack of meaningful consultation with the employees affected by the redundancy, contributing to the tribunal's decision.

3. Poor Documentation: Insufficient records were kept to justify the redundancy decisions, weakening the company's defense.

Avoiding These Pitfalls:

- Adhere to Procedures: Ensure that all redundancies follow a fair and transparent process to prevent legal issues.
- Consult Meaningfully: Engage in meaningful consultations with employees affected by redundancy decisions.
- Document Everything: Keep comprehensive records of all actions and communications related to redundancies.
