Voluntary redundancy
Hi anyone got any suggestions on how to word a letter applying for voluntary redundancy. The restructuring of the company's working hours would now not suit my family situation. Thanks
Redundancy money and separation.
Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. Daughter and son-in-law are separating. He has been made redundant but luckily has already got a job to go to. His redundancy will be around £3,000, will my daughter be entitled to half of that. They have one child if that makes any difference.
Compulsory redundancy- should I appeal?
Hi, I am unsure whether I should appeal my redundancy. I have 5 working days to do this under the company appeal procedure. In brief, my work has been transferred to a team in a 'low cost location' (which I understand is a legitimate business reason) and as such I am being made redundant. 20 colleagues are affected so this…
Am I being made redundant?
I currently work part time in an admin team alongside another girl, also part time. We have been told today by our new manager that she doesn’t think the team is working and is now amalgamating the two part time roles into one full time role. We have offered to do a traditional jobshare e.g 2.5 days each but she said ‘I…
Being made redundant and suspended beforehand
Looking for some advice as I have been issued a notice letter stating I am redundant in 4 weeks time as the company is closing and ceases to trade. I have just been suspended from work for gross misconduct, basically I asked for permission to use an item I believed was going in the bin and my manager said I could take it…
Employer trying to avoid redundancy payment?
I am a long time lurker on these boards but now find myself in need of specific advice for a family member - its a long story but I will try to condense. My cousin has been employed by a cleaning contractor company for more than 10 years at a building occupied by a government agency. They have always done full time hours…
Settlement Agreement Advice_Unfair Dismissal Case?
I will try to keep this as short and relevant as possible. I have been employed by a small, but highly profitable company for the past 3 years and 4 months. Since the birth of my son 2½ years ago, my employer has made progressive steps to diminish my role and terminate my employment. In an informal, “off the record” chat…
Redundancy revoked after accepting new job
Hi, Can anyone help please? I was informed I was at risk of redundancy and currently in consultation. I have received my formal letter of redundancy dated 20th, I actually received it on the 23rd and was due to sign a waiver on the same day, I have also been for interviews and have been offered a new job with another…
Contract change
My company is proposing to change the contracts , these changes include removing location payment , removal of paid breaks,changes to premiums, holiday entitlement, disciplinary procedures & sick pay. They have announced a pay increase to £9.20 per hour if you sign new contract, if you don’t agree to sign new contract you…
Job at Risk - got to apply for role
My wife has been told that she is at risk as there are 5 candidates for 3 jobs. As part of the process she has to interview for her 'old' job, this is fine but the salary is less than her current salary. Could this be therefore deemed unsuitable and therefore opt for redundancy. No voluntary redundancy is on offer. She…
Redundancy Consultation
Hi all, Would appreciate advice from those in the know. I'll try to keep it brief, but will try to give info to clarify what's happening. It's also difficult to explain without breaking confidentiality. I currently work for an organisation which is part of a larger company. There are three departments in the organisation…
Redundancy Process - Transfer to Another Branch
Hello, I am really sorry for a long-ish thread but I would love to hear some unbiased opinions and wanted to explain the matter as well as I could. I have a question regarding working out statutory notice period at another branch during redundancy process. After working for a company for over 12 years at the same location…
Tupe & redundancy
The US company I have worked for 10 years was acquired by a large US blue-chip company about 18 months ago. Just before acquisition, my old company, put the whole of the UK office (32 people) into redundancy consultancy, and posted 8 new jobs, that we were invited to apply for. The people who chose to leave got pretty good…
Redundant... now what??
So, I have been made redundant, obviously I have been paid a redundancy settlement... great! However I’m only 11 weeks into maternity. So, I don’t want to go straight back to work, however I don’t want to use all my redundancy to live while I look after my son. I would like to save the money for a deposit on a house (when…

Hello, My first post here so hello to everyone. I need some help and clarification regarding calculating the weekly pay for the purpose of redundancy when working irregular hours. Pretty much all the information I found online including the one on the WWW.GOV.UK website (clicky) on the topic of 'Working out Your Pay' (I am…
Redundancy (only person) and notice - can I negotiate?
Hi Sorry, I realise it's long but struggling to reduce. My role (based in England) is at risk of redundancy as they plan to move the role to Northern Ireland where the rest of the team are based at head office. I am the only person in my type of role based outside of NI. I understand the reason for the move, but am not…
