Dismissal vs. Redundancy?
Hi, I'm in a tricky situation. I took a sales job around a year ago, and the company has been struggling. This, combined with a slow start for me led to a performance review back in November, at which I was given a modified target to reach by the beginning of Feb. The company has already made some people redundant, mainly…

Still waiting for Redundancy payment...
I was made redundant at the end of July from a small Limited company- the boss let all five staff go saying he was going into Administration. Long story short, he didn't go into administration and is still trading, now from his own rented flat rather than the old office. Because of this, I had to take him to an employment…

Question about Procedure
My other half got told last year at the end of November that there are going to be redundancies at his place of work, and judging by what they said, he is one of the ones to be made redundant.

Processing job applications - tips
Having just read the interview technique tips thread I just thought I would share an HR strategy that I read about a few years ago for screening CVs. Apparently, this guy used to randomly throw half the CVs he received straight into the bin. This weeded out the naturally unlucky candidates. Just thought I’d share this.

Could anyone tell me whether he would be entitled to JSA again after such a short period of employment? :confused:

What happens if company goes into administration?
Not for me but a question for a friend (no, really it is!) He works for a large company and is entitled to about 14 months worth or redundancy pay. If the company goes into administration would he still get this or is it then just if the Company has enough money left or does it have to ringfence this money somewhere? Thanks

Good luck, all.
We have to hope that this Forum is itself redundant, as quickly as possible.
