Make the library multi-platform without duplicating content. Each skills/<name>/SKILL.md body remains the single source of truth; a new generator renders platform-ready exports from it. - scripts/build-exports.mjs — dependency-free Node generator with a PLATFORMS registry so new platforms (Gemini, Cursor, …) are a few lines. Ships ChatGPT exports at exports/chatgpt/<bundle>/<skill>/SYSTEM_PROMPT.md (172 skills), plus generated index READMEs. Supports --platform and --check. - exports/ — generated ChatGPT system prompts, ready to paste into a Custom GPT. - .github/workflows/check-generated.yml — fails a PR if exports or web/skills.json drift from the source skills. - README "Works With" now documents the ready-to-use exports and regen command. - CHANGELOG + SKILL-AUTHORING-STANDARD note the generated artifacts.

# Redundancy Consultation Skill
|
|
|
|
Structures redundancy processes and drafts communications. Significant legal and human risk — always flag that employment legal advice is essential before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Defaults to UK employment law (Employment Rights Act 1996). Always recommend qualified HR/legal advice before any redundancy action.
|
|
|
|
## Required Inputs
|
|
- **Number of roles affected** (1-19 = individual; 20+ = collective consultation required)
|
|
- **Reason for redundancy** (genuine business reason)
|
|
- **Jurisdiction** (UK / US / EU / Other)
|
|
- **Timeline constraints**
|
|
- **Selection pool** (if multiple people in similar roles)
|
|
|
|
## Output Structure
|
|
|
|
### 1. Process Overview
|
|
|
|
**Individual redundancy (fewer than 20):**
|
|
| Stage | Action | Minimum timeline |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| 1 | Confirm business case internally | Before any communication |
|
|
| 2 | At-risk notification meeting | Day 1 |
|
|
| 3 | Individual consultation | Minimum 1 meaningful meeting |
|
|
| 4 | Redundancy confirmed or alternative found | After genuine consideration |
|
|
| 5 | Notice period begins | Per contract |
|
|
| 6 | Final day and payment | Per contract + statutory |
|
|
|
|
**Collective redundancy (20+ roles — UK):**
|
|
- Minimum 45 days consultation before first dismissal
|
|
- Must notify BEIS (HR1 form) before consultation begins
|
|
- Employee representatives must be elected if no union recognised
|
|
- Failure = unlimited protective award per employee
|
|
|
|
### 2. Selection Criteria (if pool exists)
|
|
Objective, non-discriminatory only: skills/qualifications, performance (documented evidence), attendance (exclude disability/pregnancy-related absences), length of service (tiebreaker only).
|
|
|
|
NEVER select on: age, disability, pregnancy/maternity, part-time status, trade union membership.
|
|
|
|
### 3. At-Risk Letter Draft
|
|
"Dear [Name], I am writing to inform you that your role of [Job Title] is at risk of redundancy. This is because [specific business reason]. We would like to meet on [date] to discuss the situation and explore alternatives. You have the right to be accompanied by a colleague or trade union representative. No decision has been made. Yours sincerely, [Manager]"
|
|
|
|
### 4. Consultation Meeting Script
|
|
Opening: "No decision has been made. This meeting is to explain the situation and listen to your views."
|
|
Key questions: Any ways to avoid this? Alternative roles of interest? Anything about selection to challenge?
|
|
|
|
### 5. Redundancy Confirmation Letter Draft
|
|
Issued only after genuine consultation. Must include: statutory pay calculated, notice period, payment for accrued holiday, right of appeal.
|
|
|
|
### 6. Statutory Redundancy Pay Guide (UK)
|
|
- Under 22: 0.5 week per year of service
|
|
- 22-40: 1 week per year of service
|
|
- 41+: 1.5 weeks per year of service
|
|
- Weekly pay capped (verify current rate)
|
|
- Maximum 20 years counts
|

|
WARNING: Take advice from an employment lawyer or qualified HR professional before beginning any redundancy process.
|
|
|
|
## Quality Checks
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Number of roles determines consultation type (individual vs collective)
|
|
- [ ] Selection criteria are objective and non-discriminatory
|
|
- [ ] At-risk letter states no decision has been made
|
|
- [ ] Consultation meeting includes genuine exploration of alternatives
|
|
- [ ] Statutory redundancy pay guidance included
|
|
- [ ] Legal advice disclaimer is prominent
|
|
|
|
## Anti-Patterns
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Do not proceed without a prominent disclaimer that qualified HR and legal advice is required before taking any action
|
|
- [ ] Do not use template letters without customising them for the specific individual and situation
|
|
- [ ] Do not omit the genuine exploration of alternatives — redundancy consultation must consider alternatives before confirming decisions
|
|
- [ ] Do not leave out statutory redundancy pay guidance — employees have legal entitlements that must be referenced
|
|
- [ ] Do not conduct a redundancy process without documenting the selection criteria and scoring — undocumented decisions create legal risk
|
|
|
|
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
|
- "Help me structure a redundancy consultation"
|
|
- "Draft an at-risk letter for [role]"
|
|
- "What is the process for making someone redundant in the UK?"
