On notice

Mecb096a

Hi,


I am under notice of redundancy and am very happy with the deal that the company is offering.


What would happen if the company were to change its mind and decided that they want me to stay ? can they withdraw my notice and make me stay ?



Regards

My understanding is that once a notice has been served it is a contractual contract and can only be stopped if BOTH parties agree.

That is true

but

The key point is they can withdraw the redundancy which gives you options
you can still leave at the end of the notice period without any redundancy pay
or
Stay(subject to suitable alternative etc).

This is where you need to understand the rules of counternotice

So keep a very low profile and hope they forget about me...
Thanks for the info,

Same happened to me. Got told I was being made redundant (or at least, was at risk). Been there for a long time and the offer (albeit unofficial at the time) was very generous. Was already lining up other roles and then got called in to a meeting and told "you're no longer at risk, go back to work" and that was that!

Have a read of Blatchford's contributions to this thread:

You'll see how keeping quiet about other jobs can lose £30k of redundancy.

Blatchford explains how you can prevent the redundancy dissapearing, as can your union, by serving counter notice.

BTW, you are still free to leave even if they withdraw the offer, they can't "make" you stay.
