[blink172]

redundancy or sacking? Surely redundancy gives you a financial package

 

[blink172]

unless you aint been there long obviously

 

[MikeC]

im currently going through the process of an employment tribunal re unfair dismissal if you need any advice

 

[darswold]

yeah mate, advice would be good.

i have been there 5 years and not getting into much detail, they have finished me, when i say finished.....they have made me redundant but without a final leaving date (they are going to let me know !!!!).

anyway, they are bringing someone else in to do my job.

i thought the postion is made redundant not the person !

cheers

darswold

 

[derv]

they are sneaker feckers some of them, i got made redundant a few years back, and another guy was doing my job part time so there was nothin i could do about that.

 

[Toypop]

They cant by law make a person redundant and then replace them with someone else.


They either sack you or they make the post redundent and replace you with no one.

 

[badinvincible]

Sorry to hear that, what wheels are you selling?

 

[darswold]

They can however rename the job and change the formal responsibilities/role slightly and have someone doing the same job, unfortunately there are ways to get round these things.

 

[darswold]

well folks,

i saw the solicitor yesterday, he says no question about it, this is an unfair dismissal case which i will win, the company has not followed any procedures which came into play on the 1st october !!!!

i was pretty chuffed as you can tell !

still doesnt give me my job back though !!!

cheers for the luck folks

[TheCake]

Well thats good news at least darswold.

Get job hunting and wait for the cash to roll your way!

 

[The Bear]

At least youll get some money out of it then. Make sure you shaft them for as much as you can!!

Dont forget to play the emotional/stress card over the whole ordeal to wring some more out of the bast*rds!

This works for sure. My dad works for a very large company who I wont name. They were getting rid of a lot of the older members of staff. They thought my old man was ready to collect his pension but was in fact a year too young, so they had to find another way to get him out. He got wind of this and went to see the Docs. He was off for over a month with "stress". This reflected badly on the company, and during the time he was off he was offered a new role within the company. Hes enjoying his job again and will most likely work until he choses to leave and draw his pension.

He did that based on the advice of my Uncle who was a Manager for Unipart. Hed had similar things happen over the years so had some good ideas.

I know first hand what its like to be made redundant as it happened to me in January 2003. Luckily I got redundancy which paid for the 172 at the time.

Good luck mate and dont let them get away with it.
