# REDUNDANCY AT-RISK LETTER

Date: 19 February 2034

Parties: Westmoor Kitchens Ltd and Imogen Price

## 1. Purpose and parties

Westmoor Kitchens Ltd of 22 Foundry Lane, Sheffield S3 8AB writes to Imogen Price of 9 Oak Street, Sheffield S10 2QF on 19 February 2034. Imogen is employed as showroom coordinator under a contract dated 6 June 2025, and the proposed closure of the Sheffield showroom may put her role at risk of redundancy.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

No decision to dismiss Imogen has been made. The proposal follows reduced orders and a possible consolidation into Westmoor's Leeds showroom. The company will explain the business case, consider alternatives and consult with Imogen in good faith before deciding whether any role is redundant.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

The first individual consultation meeting is scheduled for 27 February 2034 at 10:00 am by video call. Imogen may suggest alternative work, reduced hours, voluntary redundancy or other measures, and may provide information that changes the proposal. The company will provide relevant information reasonably needed for meaningful consultation.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

If dismissal ultimately becomes necessary, Westmoor will consider suitable alternative vacancies and the applicable contractual and statutory notice. Any statutory redundancy payment will depend on eligibility, age, complete years of service and the statutory weekly-pay cap; no amount is promised by this letter. Accrued pay and holiday will be dealt with lawfully.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

Imogen may be accompanied at a formal disciplinary or grievance hearing where the statutory right applies, and the company will discuss reasonable adjustments for consultation. She may raise concerns through HR or the grievance procedure. Consultation does not remove protection against discrimination, detriment for protected disclosures or other statutory rights.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

The company aims to finish individual consultation by 20 March 2034, but that date is a planning target rather than a dismissal date. If a final decision is made, it will be communicated separately with reasons, notice information and any appeal route. If collective-consultation duties apply, Westmoor will also follow those duties and the appropriate representative process.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

This completed fictional letter concerns employment in England and Wales and is not notice of dismissal, a finding that redundancy exists or an offer of settlement. Westmoor will keep relevant personal data secure and review the proposal fairly. Imogen should obtain independent advice if she wishes; the parties retain all rights and duties under the contract and law.
