The ICE Regulations require that employees are informed and consulted on all contract or workplace organisation changes.[1] Consultation means an "obligation to negotiate" with "a view to reaching agreement".[2] The penalty on an employer for failure to consult or follow the Regulations is up to £75,000 for each violation.[3]
Negotiation and consultation may take place under a voluntary agreement with an employer, particularly through a trade union under a collective agreement. If there is no voluntary agreement, formal consultation procedure may be triggered by at least 2% of employees,[4] and then requires election of a body of all staff. This procedure must "enable the information and consultation representatives to meet the employer at the relevant level of management depending on the subject under discussion".[5]
