SUPPORTING YOUR WORKERS THROUGH REDUNDANCY

COVID-19 has put pressure on our local economy and in some cases, it might mean your business needs to think about future workforce planning. 

Redundancy consultation periods are sensitive in nature as employers adhere to employment law practices and employees await the outcome of their employment.  

On completion of the consultation period, it is important to continue your responsible business practice, by providing your workers with guidance and information to help them exit your business with support and help, tailored to their individual needs.

Newry Chamber work closely with Money Advice Service and they offer free, impartial and confidential money matter advice and recommend that you speak with Partnership Manager, Margaret McCloskey.

Margaret can help to develop a library of resources that you could use to support your workers with, prior to exiting the business. We provide an example of resources below for your perusal but a wider list of choices can be tailor-made for your business needs through engagement with Margaret.
