Redundancy Notice Question

chalkstripe

Hi - I am looking for some advice on redundancy notice, The entire staff of my company received a round robin email saying that the company was closing and their notice periods would begin from Friday 12/04. This would be followed by individual letters and consultations outlining individual circumstances. So far no one has received any letters and some staff are questioning if this is a valid redundancy notice until there is individual communication and this could impact when notice periods begin.

Can anyone shed any light on whether individual communication is necessary for a notice period to begin.

Thanks for any insight.

How many people work in your company?

Your notice period only starts when your employer says you'll be made redundant and gives you a finishing date. Your notice period doesn't start from when your employer says you're at risk of redundancy.
