KPMG tells staff facing the axe: Here's £100, now zip it

Staff in AI, Cyber, SAP and Testing told the consultation is over, with notices due Friday

KPMG tells staff facing the axe: Here's £100, now zip it

KPMG has informed its staff facing redundancy that they must waive their legal rights and accept £100 as part of the job cuts, according to sources. The consultancy is downsizing by around 4 percent of its UK workforce, which amounts to approximately 200 employees. Those in AI, Cyber, SAP, and Testing teams are particularly affected.

On October 1, at-risk staff were notified that the consultation process had concluded, and results would be emailed to them on October 9. In a message seen by The Register, KPMG stated that the original proposal remains unchanged. Staff describe the offer as insulting and suggest it functions as a gag order. The firm has not commented on the £100 payment or the bonus situation, but it is understood that employees under notice are not eligible for a payout.
