# Redundancy Consultation Timing Map

Map redundancy consultation timing against the minimum consultation period.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
The number of affected employees, the consultation start date, and the first dismissal date.

## Workflow
1. Record the affected headcount and the applicable minimum consultation period.
2. Record the consultation start date.
3. Compute the days between start and first dismissal.
4. Return the map without employment decisions.

## Output contract
affected_headcount | minimum_days | consultation_start | first_dismissal | days_given | slack_days

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional proposal affects 25 employees, a 30-day minimum consultation; notice dated June 1 with a first dismissal on July 1 gives 30 days, the minimum, leaving 0 slack days.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
