A letter from Homebase chiefs to its staff outlining cuts to the payroll and threatening hundreds of employees with redundancy has been leaked to the Sun newspaper. The red top's award-winning Sun City published the following extracts:
“Our store is one of a number where availability of our customer-facing colleagues does not match our trading patterns or customer demand. Also, sales performance has meant we need to review our store payroll costs."
“Together, these mean a realignment and reduction in colleague hours. If the alternative schedule you’re offered represents a significant change to your current terms and conditions, redundancy would be an option open to you.”
The shake-up will affect around a third of Homebase's 302 stores in the UK.
