second_chance

hi all if you remember i recently brought a house which we could just about afford you all warned me not too and now the worst has happened my dh was told yesterday that come tomorrow he will have no work....im shocked he has worked sixteen years for his employer (he is the only employee) and to be given only two days notice is terrible...so now we are in deep poo you would be right to say i told you so the deppressing thing is i have been doing very well not getting into further debt and actually trying to turn things around for us...so depressed

Don't panic

With 16 years experience, he ought to be viewed as a reliable employee

No time for grief, get to work now on the job hunt

Be very proactive and you might be surprised, as it is just as likely that he could find a better job

And batton down the hatches, every penny counts

thank you he is having some time off tomorrow (how kind) to get to the job centre and im trawling internet its such a shame for him as he is very hard working and has been very loyal to his boss..

hang on a minute, he should be getting a pay off with 16 years service under his belt

:grouphug: Hi Second Chance

I can remember your earlier threads. It must have been an awful shock, sending you a big hug. Is your husbands profession something that he should be able to find another job easily and after 16 years will there be enough redundancy to clear your debts.

We were concerned this was going to happen to my OH and thats when I had my lightbulb moment. Someone said to me it will ok thats what benfits are for and it did make me feel alot better.

Why not post your SOA again

Good luck I hope he finds something quickly

Make sure he gets redundancy pay etc it may be worth checking his rights straight away as small employers often get it wrong. Maybe try the CAB if you have one in your area.

Hi sc.

So sorry this has happened, but surely it's no the end of the world. After 16 years, he should be entitled to some redundancy? What did he do? (for a living i mean), and what is the reason that he is now out of work.
Are they going into liquidation? relocating etc.......?

Don't panic, i'm sure all will be ok.

Hugs

This is rubbish he is due statutory redundancy - what is happening with his employer are they in administration,gone broke what?? you can't just be told after 16 years you are out of work - does he have payslips if he has payslips he has a contract - get on to CAB they should be able to help don't take this lying down fight
