Redundancy Workshops

Redundancy Workshops

With this service, we provide workshops and seminars to individuals who have been offered redundancies from their employer. This can be a traumatic time for both employees and management as there is a lot of uncertainty around what each employee is entitled to from the package. We explain the facts in relation to each package and explain the tax efficient and viable options in drawing down this package. We also explore the impact this redundancy package has on each employee’s pension.

Please note that we provide this service on behalf of the company offering the redundancy and also on request of a group of employees who want individual advice/education on their specific package that has been offered to them.
