Employer wants to conduct liquidation themselves
I am in a situation where I have been employed by a company for many years and unfortunately the organisation has hit financial problems. I am owed a large amount of money in unpaid salary (there are also other employees that are also owed money). The company doesn't have sufficient cash (or have sufficient assets) to pay…
Redundancy/income protection insurance
Hi to everyone, this is my first post on this great site :beer: I have been employed for over 12 months now with the same employer and I'm thinking of taking out a policy that would protect my income if I were to be made redundant some time in future. I'm not aware of any impending redundancies but I'm not naive enough to…
Ex-employer refusing to give names of company liquidators
A company I used to work for has been liquidated while owing me money. The company/boss (which still exists in another form, a phoenix company if you ask me) is refusing to give me details of who the liquidators are so that I can put in a claim for the money I am owed.

Potential Redundancy - Query
Our boss has recently resigned. Its highly likely they will not replace him and instead the department we work for will be taken over by a sister company (its already happened with another team). That sister company is not local and has its own admin staff, so we would no longer be required. Our query is if our current…
Redundancy enquiry
I'm employed by Royal Mail and in my particular area they're looking at reducing staff numbers. I've just received an information pack from them listing the various options, one of which is to take voluntary redundancy and they have provided me with an estimate of my redundancy payment. This estimate equates to 26 weeks…

I have had my one to one meeting. I have been employed 20 years and had a good career, I am devastated to lose my job. On Friday I went to the…
