What this means for you

Your employer should have run a consultation before any dismissals took effect. A claim must normally be started within three months minus one day of the dismissal date. Check the time limits and next steps.

Because 100 or more roles are affected, your employer should be running a collective consultation lasting at least 45 days before any dismissal takes effect. These thresholds apply per establishment, so the exact position depends on how the cuts are spread across sites.
