The employer’s obligation to notify BIS

[ch 11: pages 328-329]

The employer must notify the secretary of state of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) of all proposed redundancies of 20 or more employees. This is done using an HR1 form, sent to the Redundancy Payments Office, a division of BIS. The time frame for this step mirrors the 30/45-day collective consultation period (see page 324).
