Made redundant last night
Hi, I literally lost my job last night which is the second time this has happened in 4 months. I worked for a small company which has 5 stores around the country with less than 50 employees in the company. The owner literally came into our store last night and said we're closing down tonight. You'll all receive an email.…
Can post redundancy commission be counted as tax free redundancy pay?
I was made redundant last year. My employer agreed to 3 months redundancy payment, and agreed to pay commission on a number of deals which would not have been due until later if I had remained with them. The redundancy amount was less than the tax free limit of 30k. Since the commission was discretionary, and paid…
Can any one assist - no contract+no pay
Hello all, let me know if I am posting in the wrong area.....I have had a nightmare! I have recently been "employed" within a company where they have never given me a contract.

Working Notice
I have recently been asked to work my notice which is 10 weeks as the current contract I am on ends in June. I have also been given my redundancy date and the amount that I am to receive.

Dismissed at work due to mental health- Advise please!
Brand new to this so please bare with me.. Today I got dismissed from my job. It was to do with my attendance and that I'd been off 4 separate times since July 2016 (3 related and 1 not). In August 2016, my mental health started to dip (depression, anger issues etc). I'd always been aware of my mental health but never felt…

Hi there Hoping you can help. My company has recently made my role redundant (I received the redundancy letter and package). Ahead of this, someone in a similar role resigned but they said they were reducing roles by one more (therefore I was still at risk of red.); a higher role then became available (had to be created)…
Voluntary redundancy/retirement &JSA

Redundancy when company entering CVA
My partner's employer has issued redundancy letters (after consultation - everyone is going!) and is planning to enter a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA) with an insolvency practitioner handling all the admin. They say they will pay salary to end April (date of termination) and anything else will need to be claimed from…
Redundancy pay
Hi I have been employed part time for over 20 years and I have recently been told I am getting made redundant. Apparently I am only getting 12 years redundancy because I have been informed I didn't have a contract 20 years ago. Does this seem right or am I entitled to 20 years redundancy.
Tax confusion
I have just been made redundant, the letter I was given at the end of March said that my last day at work would be the 6th April and I would be paid my redundancy, PILON and holiday pay on the 7th. So far I have not been paid and when I asked why, I was told there is some confusion over the best way to do it to minimise…
