Guidance for lay off and short term working.
In circumstances where it is unclear what an employer’s staffing needs will be the longer term but there is a downturn in work, employers may not wish to make a decision at that stage to carry out redundancies.
In such a situation, an employer may consider laying off employees or putting them on short time working. It is good practice to consider these alternatives in any event.
