Redundancy Fraud
A "friend" has told me that she knows she will be made redundant when she returns to work at the end of her maternity leave. She was told on a hush hush basis.

My husband's firm have gone into administration. There are a number of potential buyers, but it is likely that once they have bought the company (if they do) they will move the work to their own premises. This would be too far for my husband to commute. Can he still apply for a redundancy payment? Thanks :o
