- Manufacturing
- What happened
- The board is considering closing one production line, affecting a number of roles, and asks what process and cost that triggers.
The question asked
How many roles would the closure affect, and does that trigger collective consultation and what would notice cost?

Try it
Change the assumptions. Every result and the answer below are recomputed from them, and a warning appears when a result crosses a stated limit.
- Notice pay for the roles
- GBP 122,880
- Roles above the consultation threshold of 19
- 5The synthetic code requires consultation when 20 or more roles are affected.
- Notice pay plus 10% on-costs
- GBP 135,168
At 20 or more roles the synthetic code requires collective consultation before any dismissal, which sets the earliest date for closure.
The answer
Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.
24 roles: notice pay of GBP 122,880 (GBP 135,168 with on-costs).
Notice pay is roles times notice weeks times average weekly pay [S1]. The synthetic code requires collective consultation when 20 or more roles are affected [S2]; the number above the threshold is 5.
The cost is the smaller part of the decision. The consultation duty, if triggered, fixes the timetable and must precede any dismissal, so the board should hear that first, then the money.
