Insolvency/Redundancy and a Mix of Contracted and Uncontracted Hours

bujin

HI All. Hoping you're all doing ok. I understand everyone will have their own anxieties but I'd be really grateful for some advice for my daughter.

My daughter is a Teacher in the UK for students from oversees of English (TEFL). She is contracted for 20hrs a week and works another 10-15 every week uncontracted. She works in a small private school. Two weeks ago they decided to work from home teaching students online due to Coronavirus. The owner had said that she was concerned that school might close at some point because obviously no students were booking form oversees. Her immediate boss (A) called her yesterday asking if she'd been paid. My daughter said no, so her boss (A) contacted the owner (B) and was told that the school was going into liquidation and that (A) should contact all the staff and tell them that they were losing their jobs and they weren't going to be paid for the work they've already done in March. Clearly not a great way to find out you're losing your job, but there you are. My daughter is looking as we speak for a job anywhere she can.

My questions are I believe she'd be entitled to Loss of Notice payment after she's put in for Redundancy Pay and unpaid wages for March through the.GOV. site?

Will she only be able to claim for the wages she would have earnt through her contracted hours or for all the hours she normally works? She's been working for the company for at least 6yrs, but only got her contract for the 20hrs in the last two years.

I understand this is a complex situation and we may need to seek professional advice but obviously times being as they are I'd really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

Hi. It's a confusing time but I think you'd find it better if you made a post of your own, rather than responding to mine where people won't see it. Also people will see I've had a response and potentially not respond to mine here. Hoe that helps.

I'm bumping this cos it looks   like I've had a reply but someone's posted by mistake in reply to my question. Really hoping someone can help.

Hi, I have just been made redundant after 8 years of work, I managed a campsite which has now closed. I worked 70-80 hours a week in the summer and 20 hours a week in the winter. I have been told I am going to get 8 times one and a half weeks at the the lowest weekly wadge and 12 weeks in lieu of notice at the lowest weekly wadge as well. I think this is very unfair and thought I would get the weekly average over the year on both accounts. Can you please tell me my rights, thank you.
