Advisory booklet - Employee communications and consultation

This booklet is intended to assist anyone involved in or affected by the processes of Employee Communications and Consultation.

It is one of a series of booklets and handbooks designed to give impartial advice on employment matters to employers, employees and their representatives. Legal information is provided for guidance only and should not be regarded as an authoritative statement of the law, which can only be made by reference to the particular circumstances which apply. It may, therefore, be wise to seek legal advice.

Our Helpline numbers can answer most of your questions about employment relations matters including your legal rights and duties.
