Counter notice?

2nd_Time_Lucky

my statutory redundancy notice period runs until tomorrow. i had accepted another job within the company but now i have the full info, it is not suitable. I wish to serve counter notice but am unsure what to put in my letter?
will i still get my redundancy payment based on my existing wage rather than the lower paid position i have been offered (but have not commenced)?
Does that mean i have to work another months notice or am i free to go?

yes i am being indecisive then not so sure....

In what way is the other job not suitable.

It depends on that as to whether yu get any redundancy pay at all.

Have a look at the ACAS site

If you've accepted the job then you've accepted the job.

So you now enter a statutory four week trial period after (and I believe during) which if you can show that the post was unsuitable you can still walk away with your redundancy intact - the payment is then based on the average of the last 12 weeks pay up to a max of £400 (statutory terms).

Thankyou, thats what i thought but was very confused

I've spoken to the company offering the job and said i can work part time whilst i work my one month notice period and they are ok with that :j
so i'll serve my notice and see what happens..
