Request for volunteers for redundancy: letter to employee
A letter to be used by an employer in a redundancy situation to send to the employees seeking volunteers for redundancy.
About this document
This formal letter is to be used by any employer seeking volunteers for redundancy. By actively seeking employees before picking employees for other reasons, you aid compliance with the law, make your job easier (you have fewer employees to hand select) and increase business efficiency (by choosing employees who are likely to be less loyal to the business in the future).
Termination of an employment contract is the time when your former employee is likely to consider a claim to a tribunal – and may well be encouraged by friends and relatives to do so. Your best defence is to have the right procedures in place and well recorded, and to follow them. If your procedures are in place and if you use letters like these, advisers are less likely to encourage your ex employee to claim.
