Made redundant after 5 months

ls31

Hi all

I was recruited 5 months ago and since them my company has had two redundancy rounds; the second and current one affects me as well and as it looks I'll be out of job in a month or so.

I was wondering whether there's any advice around that as I had a permanent full time job (same money as well) before that. I'm looking to potentially avoid or delay the process, or have a pay out.

In addition, during my probation period, my manager told me I was doing great and at the end of the meeting he suggested we extend it. Of course, I did not accept that as there was absolutely no evidence that I was not competent enough and, as a result, the company came back to me, apologised and confirmed my appointment. I feel that this redundancy round is to get rid of me as they haven't made enough sales and I'm too expensive; they didn't manage to do so via the probationary route so they're trying to do so by "restructuring."

Many thanks

with less than 2 years service you have near zero employment rights and no eligibility to any redundancy package unless your contract specifies a better than stuatory package.

As Andy says nothing you can do, get looking for another job.

What's your notice period? You won't get redundancy but if you have 3 months you should get a decent pay out.

Don't know what you mean.

Even if they had a 3-month notice period, I don't think it would count as any type of "pay out" if it was worked. I don't see a suggestion by the OP that termination would be immediate.
