The amendment means that collective redundancy obligations will be triggered where 20 or more redundancies are proposed at one establishment, in line with the existing law, or the number of proposed redundancies across the organisation meets a certain threshold. The Government will set this threshold out in due course via secondary legislation. This will happen after we have consulted, ensuring that it balances the needs of a growing business with the interests of employees. This could be a proportion of employees in a business, a suitable number of employees across a business, or some other threshold proposed through detailed consultation. Employers will also be required to notify the Government of redundancies that meet the threshold set in secondary legislation.
