pay cuts and overtime at flat rate advice please
I am in a firm of about 25 people, with no union. We have been informed today that we will be getting a new contract to sign tomorrow. It will state that we either agree or disagree to taking a 10% wage cut, and any overtime will be paid at flat rate. Also days off sick will not be paid. There is no time limit on the…

I have had nothing in writing yet (I am due to return to work from sick leave on 28th June) however my employer has mentioned the following: 1- 30 September PILON 1 October 13 weeks redundancy pay (11 years service, current age 45, will be 46 in August) I have asked them to…
Redundancy meeting time

Tesco Vin Plus
Did you know Tesco in France is closing, told us in a meeting, when we thought they would cut the staff down, but not close down. Now they have offered us a redundancy package, most of us have worked there 15 years, they have offered 3 months wages, but we are not allowed any unemployment benefit for the 3 months, what do…
Tax payable on redundancy
I realise there are lots of other posts regarding tax and redundancy but I'm still left unsure what rate of tax I will have to pay for an amount of redundancy pay over £30k. I am a basic rate tax payer with an annual salary of £26,000. I will be made redundant at the end of September after 30 years service. My redundancy…
P45 and last pay slip
Hubby voluntary redundant from today. Has had last pay and now has pay slip for redundancy and P45 arrived today however these do not match and it appears that the P45 only gives his earned income but has omitted taxable redundancy and tax paid (tax code on redundancy pay is BR MTH1 although taxable and non-taxable is…
Who has been made redundant and is enjoying the time off?
Was just wondering?
Employment tribunal - concerns
Hi - wonder if anyone can advise me here. I've mentioned in a previous thread about this a while back but thought I'd put a new thread on. Basically I applied for voluntary redundancy in November last year and was accepted in December with a finish date of 31/1/10. In December, I was provided terms that although I was…
Liable for Tax/NI if re-employed by same company
This is weird. Recently redundant, quite amicable (I wasn't bothered and uninterested in redeployment opps). Supervisor thought I might like to go on their in-house 'temp' register given that I am familiar with the company, cheaper and would need less supervision & induction than agency staff. Could slot in on ad hoc basis…
Possible Redundancy - What Procedures Should my Employer Follow
I work for a small company who employ an external HR company. I am actually the Office Manager but because of the size of our organisation i am responsible for obtaining advise from the external HR company. I was called into a meeting today by my Manager who asked me how the redundancy procedure should be carried out and I…
PPI Home Visits
I have just been made redundant and am claiming on two PPI policies. One states that there agent may visit for updates on my jobseeking progress. I don't want/need this visit. I paid £2,880 over 5 years with one provider, my employer has filled out the claim form and the Job Centre has filled it out confirming that I am…
Payment in lieu of notice - wrongly taxed?
I have just been made redundant and received a tax free sum plus 3 months payment in lieu of notice. So I thought that I was geting my usual pay less the usual tax - wrong. The outsourced payroll provider looked at this one of taxable sum of £16k but assumed that £16k was my new monthly wage (I wish) and multiplied it by…
Being mucked around by Royal Mail
My husband was recently invited along with the rest of the office to put in to receive his 'unofficial' figures for voluntary redundancy from Royal Mail. He's worked there for 18 years and is 49. It's taken a couple of months but finally he received the figures last week and has been given a couple of weeks decide whether…
