Letter Imposing a Lay-Off or Short Time Working (Exercise of a specific contractual power)

This template letter can be used where the Employer has a contractual right to impose a period of lay off or short-time working in order to provide a temporary solution where there is a period of downturn in work.  Where the work situation does not improve.

The employer may need to consider implementing a redundancy programme, if this is the case refer to our toolkit for further documents.

If you require any support with Lay-Off and restructuring speak to a member of the HR and You team.
