Hi All,

Looking for a bit of advice for my Girlfriend.

My girlfriend worked in her job from July 2011, she was placed on a consultation period on 4th October stating the company had lost the contract and would potentially making the whole department redundant. The consultantion period was due to end on 2nd November. At the time of being given these letters they were all told they would be redundant as no other jobs would be found. The last day of work was to be October 31st.

She went off sick on 25th October and was signed off by the doctor until 14th November, no one from the company has been in touch with her but her friend has advised that they were all told to go into the office and collect there notice of redundancy letters on 2nd November. My girlfriend was not invited to collect her letter, nor was she advised this was happening.

To date she has still not received a letter serving her her notice of redundancy. Technically she is off sick until 14th November. Where does she stand with regards to this? - as she hasn't been served notice of redundancy how will her redundancy notice pay work? she has no idea what she will be paid or what holidays she is owed ect.

She is due to be paid 1 month notice pay on 26th November as far as she is aware.

Thanks in advance
