Work given to Contractors
Hi. My current employer has recently signed a 5 year contract with a third party company. Because of this, over 150 job roles (nationwide) have been made redundant, and those employees are being forced into another job role. I understand that third party companies are ideal to help with a temporary boost in a work stack…

Bit confused - should I come clean to my employer?
I have received an 'at risk' of redundancy letter from my employer. The consultation process is underway and I've had a few meetings with HR. As things stand my role will end on 31/7/24 and I'm eligible to receive 1 month notice pay plus statutory redundancy pay. I'd be happy to accept the redundancy. In the meantime I…

Redundancy pool
Within my team of 6 all of us were employed to do the same role and have the same contract. However, I tend do focus on one aspect of the role and the others deal with the rest. At busy periods the others support me and vice versa. We were told our jobs are at risk. However my 5 colleagues have been put in a redudancy pool…

time time only severance
I've recently taken voluntary redundancy from a term time only position with my final day on 31st July (their choice, not mine.) I would usually be on leave/away from work mid July to late August. Is that time off just lost into the ether? Also, the way term time only pay works is it is spread equally across the year, so…

NHS - Made redundant - can I go to new NHS organisation as an agency temp and keep the redundancy?
If someone is made redundant from the NHS and straight away starts working at another NHS organisation via an agency/ umbrella company, are they entitled to keep the redundancy pay? It would appear that their new employer would be the umbrella company rather than the NHS, but is anyone aware of any terms or clauses which…

Accepting a Redudnacy that is being Contested
Hi, I am contesting my redundancy on a number of grounds and have raised the issues approximately two weeks ago. The company has as of yet to provide me with a full response, however, today they advised that if I did not sign my severance letter by 5 pm today, the enhanced payment would be removed.

How “negotiable” is a VR payment (early retirement also)
I’m wondering if anyone has experience of negotiating a better VR payment than an already enhanced one? I can take my pension (am over 55) and would do so if VR was offered. The scheme I’m in (USS) has many different bits and the earlier sections used to offer “unreduced pension at 50/55 on redundancy” etc. This…

Hypothetical Large Redundancy Question
I hope you can help with a question. I need to know if the £30k tax free part of a redundancy payment reduces your earnings in terms of losing the personal allowance.

Does my former employer have to tell me who is dealing with the liquidation
A little context, I was made redundant 9 months ago on the day the company closed. My former employer has dragged his feet all this time and even though he had instructed a company to deal with the liquidation on his behalf, he didn’t furnish them with the information they requested or pay them. About 2 months ago he…

Redundancy - notice period payment & tax
