Lay-off and short-time working contract clause

Hi,

Can anyone help by sharing/ providing the wording of Layoff and Short Term Working Clause that they have within their contract of employment.

We need to add this to our current contract but we need some guidance on what is the best wording given current circumstances. We are a tiny company (5 employees) so do not have access to HR Inform, so any help from by CIPD buddies would be very welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

16. Lay-Offs

The Company reserves the right to lay you off or put you on short-time working where the needs of the Company’s business make it necessary. You will be paid statutory guarantee payments during a period of any lay-off or short-time working.

Hope that helps - though more learned colleagues may be able to improve or add to it!

I slightly prefer Meenas clause as it highlights the no pay save for statutory amounts

Some clauses specify a maximum number of days of layoff. If no maximum is specified, it will be implied that the lay-off should be only for a reasonable period. Where there is an express right to lay off an employee without pay, as has been said, the employee may be entitled to a guarantee payment. As also said, laying off an employee may also give rise to an entitlement to a statutory redundancy payment
