job-bankruptcy

Can anyone help me - can you declare your self bankrupt if you work for a local council?

  • I can't see why not. You'd need to check your contract though.

  • My contract doesn't say specifically but it does say "your terms and conditions of employment are covered by the collective agreements negotiated and agreed by the National and Provincial Negotiating Committees as amended, withdrawn and/or supplemented by locally negotiated collective agreements determined by the council".

    not sure what that means :(
  • Ermm.sounds like the usual complicated bull that councils put in contracts.

    IMO your ok, but you could always call HR on Monday and ask them. You don;t have to give your name or details and it'll all be confidential.

    At least it'll put your mind at rest.

    Good luck :beer:
