I am looking for some further information on an employers (HR specific) responsibility in following up to find another permanent position for an employee following a job abolishment notice.
Thank you for reaching out to our firm.
In most circumstances, the employer, in a non-unionized setting, does not have an obligation to find someone another position. However, if the decision is taken to terminate someone, then the employee will generally have to be paid some form of severance. How much severance that would be is a very case-specific analysis.
If you would like to discuss more of the specifics of your particular situation, namely whether this is an employee that you need to provide another position to and how much severance would be involved in terminating them, please phone the number below to set-up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
