Is a Company able to dismiss employees by reason of redundancy following the current redundancy process and then reimburse those same people by invoice on a consultancy basis therefore individuals would become self employed selling to various companies. The reason for the redundancy is a downturn in business, sales have deteriorated in the last year and we have no option but to consider redundancies although we would like to allow those redundant to sell our products on a commission basis.
