# REDUNDANCY CONSULTATION LETTER
Date: 6 May 2025
Parties: From: Eleanor Price, HR Director, Calder Digital Ltd, 14 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL. To: Marcus Bell, Operations Assistant, 22 Rowan Avenue, Leeds LS6 2PF.
## 1. Provisional proposal
The company proposes a reduction in the operations assistant team because confirmed orders fell 31% in the six months ending 31 March 2025. This is a proposal only; your employment and role continue while consultation takes place.
## 2. Pool and provisional assessment
The proposed pool is the four employees performing substantially interchangeable operations-assistant work: you, Leah Ford, Omar Patel and Nina Walsh. Using skills 40%, performance 30%, flexibility 20% and attendance 10% (excluding disability-related absence where appropriate), your provisional score is 72/100; Leah scored 78, Omar 75 and Nina 69. The figures are open to correction and explanation.
## 3. Meeting and representation
Please attend 13 May 2025 at 10:00 at our Leeds office, or ask by 12 May for video attendance or another reasonable time. You may be accompanied by a work colleague or trade-union representative in accordance with the applicable statutory right. Bring any evidence or alternative proposal you want considered.
## 4. Alternatives and provisional figures
We have considered a recruitment freeze and reduced overtime; temporary reduced hours, redeployment and voluntary redundancy remain open for discussion. If redundancy were ultimately selected, your continuous service from 4 April 2018, age 34 and weekly pay of £620 would make any statutory redundancy calculation subject to the statutory cap and current law; contractual notice is eight weeks. No payment is promised by this letter.
## 5. Process, records and signature
A further meeting will be offered before any final decision, followed by written reasons and an appeal route if dismissal is decided. Collective consultation duties do not appear triggered by this single proposed role, but the company will verify current thresholds and HR1 obligations if proposals change. Please check current England and Wales law, forms and deadlines. Yours sincerely, Eleanor Price, HR Director, for Calder Digital Ltd.
