Employer says I have left my Job ....Where Do I stand?

Also, why change the locks if you had handed in your notice?

I am also head scratching about the redundancy thing.


To me it sounds like unfair dismissal (based on what we know here).

Go see CAB. My BIL was made 'redundant' over the phone with no consultation process.

He saw CAB, their lawyer wrote letters back and forth and the company are now wanting to settle without going to tribunal.

Take all your evidence with you when going to CAB.

My BIL never paid a penny for legal assistance.

I'm in a similar position and just about to take my employer to a tribunal.

However, he's claiming that I was laid off - not redundant - for 13 weeks and that I then 'found another job' therefore, he's claiming that I left of my own accord :rolleyes: I haven't found a new job but I did work temporarily for someone else which he is aware of.

So far, I've read that if I've been laid off then he still has to pay my full pay unless its part of my contract (I have no contract!)?

I would recommend the CAB too.

Good luck!

Why are we talking about redundancy here? Granted that OP's often are so distressed that they forget minor points etc; but this seems pretty clear. It's dismissal; and as such I don't think the OP should be threatening to go to a tribunal if they don't get paid, they should simply be going straight for unfair dismissal and nailing the beggar. Or am I missing something here?

the phrase "business being slow" - as in not enough work to do - ie the job is redundant - so the person occupying that job is redundant...

The clock is ticking fast, you must act now or you will be time barred as the ET1 requires to be lodged within 3 months, ie 3 months less 1 day - do it asap.

Lodge your claim straight away. You can do it online. Your claim is for unfair dismissal and breach of contract for failure to pay notice pay.

Explain what happened - that you were employed as factory supervisor for 8 years until [date] when you were dismissed without warning or explanation. That you lodged a grievance with your employer about the way you were treated but your employer has failed to respond.

DO NOT WAIT, if you miss the deadline, you lose your right to make a tribunal claim. Once you have lodged the claim, if you get advice, you can apply to amend the claim to provide further details.

The tribunals are used to people representing themselves, but you MUST get the claim in within the time limits.

As someone else has said, start with the termination date on your P45, count three calendar months forward and one day back.

Don't leave it too late
