Hi there.

I have been on a 6 month contract since 23rd Nov.09. Due to finish 22nd May 2010. Was just told yesterday my contract has been ended due to a downturn in business and I have been given a week's notice. What (if any) rights do I have?

Thanks.

    If you started work on 23rd November 09, none.

    Thats what I thought. :( I have a few days holiday that I didn't take - will I get money in lieu?

    Can you take the leave during your notice, or can they tag it on the end? Otherwise they should pay you for it.
