NHS labs merging but not the trusts.
Hi All. I work in an NHS laboratory, initially the trust I work in and a neighbouring trust had planned to merge but this has been shelved. The labs however are still planning to become one entity. The current plan is for all the staff at the other trust to be TUPE'd over to us and then competitive interviews will be held…
Very sudden redundancy?
Hello, I started working at a business in January 2013. On Monday, out of absolutely nowhere, my boss calls me in with my supervisor. He tells us he's running out of money and one of us has to go. He said he will tell us who by the end of the day. I knew it would be me for the chop because she's been working there nine…
Made redundant - receiving payment enquiry
Hope this is the correct forum. Basically about a year ago my son was made redundant, and went to Tribunal. About a month ago he was awarded approximately £4000, by the Tribunal Judge. The ex employer ordered to pay within 2 weeks. However, the ex employer (a small firm) is also being chased (we think) by several other…

I have been working for my employer for 3 months now, and a few days ago was given a letter to sign saying that if i do sign it, i am agreeing to forego my salary until the company can afford to pay me, all of the…
Potential Redundancy
Hi, The owner of the company I work for is in the final stages of selling the company. The company is relatively small (approx 30 full time employees) and I believe the sale will come under TUPE legislation. I am a department manager but I have received no information about the takeover from the current owner and he seems…
Income protection insurance
Is this a good idea? I'm currently working and it's all going a bit flat, had to accept a wage decrease as a case of 'take it or not work' scenario. Don't want to really be left with nothing if it does all go wrong but also don't want to be paying out £30 a month for something that in the long run might not be a viable…
Voluntary redundancy vs redundancy
Hi there Is there a difference in terms of how any potential 'benefits' or anything else are paid. Am aware that certain employment insurance paid out differently in the past if you volunteered rather than were pushed. Are there other areas ive missed that may consider these differently please? Thanks in adavnce and…
