From 2005,the legislation has given employees a legal right to know about,and be consulted on, an organization's plans that affect them.This can cover anything from the economic health of the business to decisions likely to cause redundancies or changes in how work is organized. This requirement applies initially only to larger organizations-those with 50 or more employees.However,from 2007, the threshold was lowered to 100 employees and,in 2008,lowered again to 50 or more employees.
