There is no law which requires you to provide a work reference for an ex-employee. You should however ensure that there is a clear policy in place which outlines your organisation’s process for dealing with reference requests and this should be followed consistently to avoid discrimination claims.
Redundancy should really only be considered as a last resort. Before looking at redundancy, consideration should be given to cutting recruitment, looking at voluntary redundancies, reducing overtime and looking to see if an employee can be utilised elsewhere within your organisation. If this is not possible then redundancy is considered as the last alternative.
In most cases, once an employee has handed in their notice you the employer are under no legal obligation to offer them the job back should they want to rescind their resignation. The only exception would be if the resignation came in the heat of the moment and was not really intended by the employee. The employee would need to make you aware very quickly that they wish to take back their resignation and you will need to consider all the circumstances clearly and make a note that you have given them the opportunity to reconsider their position.
Yes. Employers can claim back up to 92% from the government of all monies paid out as part of an employee’s maternity leave.
