Redundancy, PILON & salary advance questions
Hi all, I've lumped a couple of points into one post to try & keep things simpler! I was told earlier this month I'm most likely redundant when the proposed 'consultation period' has concluded (this commenced the same day I was informed). 2 burning issues for me; 1: I understand I'm likely to receive 1 months PILON as well…

My Redundancy has been cancelled
I have been under notice of redundancy, but at the last minute (the day before I leave), they have asked me to stay. My P45 has already been issued, and my final salary will include a redundancy payment -- arriving in my bank tomorrow. Apparently, I can simply return the payment and I they will confirm in writing that my…

What would you do?
Met a friend last night who hit me with the bombshell that she had been made redundant, well that is how the employer was initially trying to do it. She went into work, first day back from holiday and was immediately told that she was "being made redundant, sign this". She refused to sign anything a) because employer…

Been made redundant
Hi all Couple of weeks back I was made redundant from my job; last shift was 6th September. I was directly employed by the company and I have received everything I was entitled to.

Sacked Today
I need your advice. Today I have been called to a meeting and out of the blue I have been told that they want to sack me. I believe they have no right on claiming underperformance as I am being measured against a made up sales target that I have disputed multiple times. In the meeting, I was given the option of voluntary…

Redundant at 62.
Hi, I was made redundant in May after 20 years of loyal service. I was given 12 weeks paid notice and statuary redundancy pay. I am due to "sign on" in September. Jobs in my field are few and far between and at the tender age of 62 the future looks bleak. I have four years left on my mortgage ( about 25 k ). If I do manage…

Rights when made redundant while unable to work due to mental health
Hello all, My partner is the main earner between the two of us and started a new job 11 months ago.

Self employment following redundancy
I've recently been made redundant, and with guidance from ACAS will be filling in early conciliation forms to take the matter further, as I feel it has been unfair. Since my redundancy, I've been approached by an area manager for the company to ask if I'd like a couple of months fulltime work on a self employed basis, a…

Role Moved And Given To Someone Else - Advice Needed
Hi, First if all sorry, this has taken place over three years so to explain it is not a two minute job. I’ve been with the company I work for around 8 years and have worked my way up to a Senior Management position.

Alternative role is identical to 'redundant' role; short deadline for decision
My friend has been told that her job role is redundant, but that she can apply (alongside others) for a newly created alternative role. What we find suspicious is that the new job is identical; 70% of the responsibilities listed are in her current role's job description, and the remaining 30% are duties she already carries…

rules on voluntary redundancy payments
I am in a position where there is an opportunity to take voluntary redundancy due to a reorganisation which has resulted in my job no longer being needed. The organisation does not want compulsory redundancies and would prefer voluntary. Probably for the pension strain costs reason below. As I will be 59 at the leaving…

Challenging unfair dismissal
Hi. I have been given summary dismissal at my place of work. I want to challenge it at a tribunal if a lawyer thinks I have a chance. However, first of all, I have seven days for appeal at work against this decision. This is utterly pointless, as there is no due process there. I do not want to even step foot in the place…
