Safestyle, a company based in Bradford, has gone into administration, resulting in 680 redundancies. Only 70 staff members have been kept on to assist with winding down the business. Affected workers are seeking legal advice to make claims for up to 90 days' pay.
Bradford-based Safestyle went into administration on Monday, with an initial 680 redundancies made without prior warning and only 70 staff kept on to assist with winding down the well-known business. West Yorkshire-based Morrish Solicitors said large numbers of affected workers have already been in touch with them in respect of making claims for up to 90 days’ pay. Such action often occurs in large administrations when insolvencies mean usual redundancy consultation periods have not occurred.
These are always very worrying times for the staff affected. “Morrish Solicitors will support ex-employees in any ways they can as a result of what has happened. From the information received, it seems Safestyle UK hasn’t complied with its legal obligations to inform and consult in good time before making redundancies. This means staff made redundant may be able to secure an Employment Tribunal award of up to 90 days' gross pay. This is known as a protective award.
