Redundancy but offered a commission only role instead?

balibali293

I've been made redundant but been offered a commission only 'freelance' role.

My redundancy payment didn't go into my account with my last months wages, so I queried this...and my employer says that I may not be entitled to it as I may still technically be on the payroll...does anyone have any experience of this?

I have only been with them for 2.5 years so not much of a payment but the 5% commission only would generate approx £100p/m....I may as well cut my losses and search for a job elsewhere, surely? Or is it too late to do that? I haven't signed an agreement on the commission only job, only agreed it in principle.

Help??!!!?!!!??!:eek:

In case anyone wants to know...you are entitled to the redundancy payment and then the employer needs to pay you by invoice as a self-employed person earning commission only.
