Employment Rights BillContribution
This amendment and other amendments to this clause would mean that the Secretary of State can by regulations, in a case where employees are being made redundant at more than one establishment, prescribe a higher number than 20 of those employees for the purposes of determining when the obligations in sections 188 and 193 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 apply in relation to those employees. The number may be determined by reference to criteria set out in the regulations (for example, by reference to a particular percentage of total employees). This amendment also clarifies that, although consultation under section 188 must be carried out with all appropriate representatives, it need not be carried out with all appropriate representatives together or with a view to reaching the same agreement with all appropriate representatives.
