Redundancy and Relocation Costs
Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. Hopefully things will work out and it won't be needed, but I don't want to be complacent. I've recently been put at risk of redundancy by a large corporation.

Redundency and age discrimination questions
My brother in law is 70 and has worked in a care home for the last 16 years working full time. Yesterday he was called into the office by the owner and told that he was being given a months notice as they could not afford to keep him on as the care home is up for sale and the wage bills are too high on paper for…
Not clear on Redundancy entitlement.
Hi, first post and after a little advice if someone can help please. Our consultation period started on the 15th June whereas 300 full time and 100 part time staff are to be made redundant. The 400 staff are not based in one particular place so do I assume that 30 days consultation period is correct? Rather than 90 days if…

Am I scuppered with 40% tax for a year...?

As part of my redundancy package I received a 'Payment In Lieu of Notice' that pushed me into the 40% tax bracket. I was lucky enough to start a new job straight away on the…
Redundancy & Liquidation
Hi all I'm asking this question on behalf of my dad. His employers have gone into liquidation, today was his last day, and the government is to pay statutory redundancy AND payment in lieu of notice.

Management has asked for offers on hours

My partner is employed to work 36 hours a week but has been working 48 hours a week (12 hours extra as a 'self employed contractor') for the last two years. The management has said to her today that they're merging with another company and she has to come to…
