New digital HR 1 form – Collective Redundancies

• Simplified process: The new form is designed to be more straightforward to complete.
• Removal of occupational groups: Employers are no longer required to provide detailed breakdowns of affected employees by occupational group.
• New reason for redundancy: “Change in supply chain/loss of supply chain contract” has been added as a new option to explain the business case.
• Consultation start date restrictions: The form will only accept consultation dates that have already started or will start on the same day as the submission. It will not accept future dates.
• New declaration: A declaration has been added where the responsible person confirms they have understood the requirement to provide copies of the form to appropriate representatives.
• Form limitations: The digital form cannot be saved and returned to later. It must be completed in one sitting or the user will need to start over if the session times out.
