Redundancy

I am going to be made redundant soon and want some advice. I used to work for a local authority and my conditions were tupe’d over to another company. Now a few years later I am going to be made redundant, am I entitled to the local authority redundancy package as I have never had an updated contract or will I just get statutory as the difference between the two is large.

Any help gratefully received.

    What do the T&C of your employment say ?
    Are the unions involved ?
    So many other questions need asking......

    Union will be involved. My contract states what my notice will be and a brief sentence that other conditions such as redundancy that there are documents available from personnel department.

    There is such a thing called precedence,whereby if employees have in the past been made redundant under certain terms then those terms would be expected to be honoured.

    This was to try and avoid a situation where redundant staff would tupe over and then get made redundant X amount of time later on worse terms.

    Your union should be all over this
