Employment
December is traditionally a time of joyous celebration and wrapping Christmas presents. One employment lawyer, however, suggests that it may also be an ideal time for clearing one’s desk.
Mark Bestly of SAS Daniels Solicitors LLP says that redundancies on Christmas Eve may be a blessing in disguise. “I would recommend that people who may be disruptive to a business are told they’ve lost their job as close to Christmas as possible.
“If they leave the business before a two-week break then they are leaving more often than not with a redundancy package. And while they may contact former colleagues over the break, their complaints are not going to have anything like the effect compared with if they were crammed in a busy workspace,” he says
