Our UK office may close and shift to a new city.  It is just far enough away that 2 of the 3 staff may not want to shift.  There is no issue with not retaining these 2 staff on the part of the company, but I was wondering what issues I might need to consider when / if the employees say that they can not move.  How do I need to treat this in terms of a resignation / termination due to the new circumstances of the company in order to ensure that the employee’s are treated fairly and to ensure that the company is protected to the best of my ability should one of the employees (or both) want to file any type of claim against the company claiming an unfair situation. The move is strictly to get access to better services and resources, and to take advantage of the better prices for rent and services in a more urban area.

A bit in the dark as I don’t operate out of the UK.

Thank you,
