Document Overview
Changes to workplace location may be made in response: to a downturn in trade, the restructuring of a business or any other reasons impacting the operation of the business.
This Change of Workplace Notice helps ensure that employees are well-informed about the changes that are taking place in the company. This can help to alleviate any anxiety or uncertainty that employees may have about the move, and can help to foster a sense of trust and confidence in the company's leadership.
However, it is important to note that a Change of Workplace Notice is only effective if it is communicated clearly and effectively to all employees. This means that the notice should be distributed in a timely manner, and that all employees should have access to the information they need to prepare for the move.

You wish to inform an employee that their workplace will be changing location.
You want to identify the new workplace.
You wish to identify the reason for a change in the employee’s workplace.
What does this Change of Workplace Notice cover?

The Legal Risk Score of a Change of Workplace Notice Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document does not specify the reasons for the change in workplace or provide details about the new location, which could lead to misunderstandings or disagreements about the appropriateness or logistics of the new workplace.
- The notice mentions that the employee can contact the sender if they have questions, but it does not specify who to contact or how, potentially leaving the employee without clear avenues for communication or clarification.
- The document states the change in workplace as a definitive action without mentioning any possibility for employee input or negotiation, which might be perceived as unilateral decision-making and could affect employee morale or compliance.
