The government has announced changes to collective redundancy rules where 100 or more employees are affected. The 90-day minimum period before the first redundancy can take effect will be reduced to 45 days and a new ACAS non-statutory code of practice will be introduced. The government also intends to introduce new legislation to exclude employees whose fixed-term contracts are about to expire from collective redundancy consultations. These changes are due to come into effect on 6 April 2013.
