Collective Redundancy Consultation Pack

A collective redundancy consultation pack in Ireland helps employers run a compliant process when workforce reductions meet the collective redundancy thresholds. Collective redundancies trigger specific legal duties, including a minimum 30-day information and consultation period with employee representatives and notification to the Minister, before any redundancies take effect.

The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described, and any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. If your matter needs more than this service covers, a solicitor would explain the options before any further work is done.

What’s included

• Process timeline
• Template consultation letters and information for representatives
• Guidance on notification to the Minister for Enterprise
• Checklist to evidence genuine consultation and selection
• Self-complete template with guidance notes — you fill it in yourself
• Documents tailored to Irish law and your circumstances, delivered by email
• A written summary of the key points and anything you need to do afterwards

Who this is for

• Employers planning significant workforce reductions
• HR teams managing restructuring
• Employers unsure whether thresholds are met
• Businesses closing a site or division
