If they have given you ten days to appeal then surely they would have told you the appeals procedure?

If your "current employer" does not pay you a wage, but pays a third party for your services, then they are not your employer and you aren't employed by them. I therefore can't see the purpose in an appeal to someone who is not your employer - they are the client of the people you work for (who may be your employer), and the relationship is between whoever you work for and their client. So you really need to be speaking to whoever it is that you work for.

I have been doing the job for 4 years , it was alongside my regular job, but took early retirement from original post but returned on 8 hours a week from jan 13 and contract renewed march 13 ???? I will be doing same job in another practice and have been told still funded , my contract says renewal subject to continual funding !!!!

Sorry. That doesn't answer what I said to you. If you are not employed by them you have not been doing a job for four years - you have been providing a service for four years which entitles you to absolutely nothing. If the "body" that you work for (I will come back to that bit) provides a service to them, then you have no employment rights at all in relation to the people that this body provides a service to. You can work for them for four years or forty - the people you "work for" (the client) owe you nothing at all.


The relationship works like this. "Body" provides a service to "practitioner" (I am guessing you are some sort of health care - it isn't important but I am trying to guess the language right to help you understand). The contractual relationship is between them. You are the "service". Your contractual relationship is with the "body" - not the "practitioner/client". If the "practitioner" wants to terminate the contract for service they do that with the "body", not with you. Sorry - you are irrelevant here!


Your relationship is with the "body" - and whether that is an employment relationship or not is not in evidence from this thread. So it is the "body" that you need to be talking to - the people who pay you to provide this service.


Does that make sense?

you will need to clarify the dates(especially relating to retirement and returning), the type of contract you have with who and how you are paid, and any relation ship between the jobs, might be part of the same employment, might be there is no employment status.


if an employee they can't just not renew they have to make you redundant and after 2 years that means a payment.

They can get rid within 1 or 2 years(depending on start date) for any reason but non renewal is a redundancy if you are an employee.

Sorry - but unless the OP has got it entirely wrong, they provide a service. They therefore have no relationship at all with the person they provide the service to, and the client can not renew with the service provider (who is not the OP) as they wish. Therefore redundancy is not currently in play.


The terms of employment (or not) with the body who provides the work contract is in question - there is no information about what the OP has in relation to a contractual relationship with them.
