    I've some work related questions, but they are pretty specific. Are the citizens advice beareau any good? The ans are prob on this somewhere but I haven't found them.
    I work in a plant hire shop at slightly above minimum wage.Like lots of places,staff is at a bare minimum now. Me and the manager run it.We're taking off one week a month which we sign on for,since Oct. Apparently this doesn't affect redundancy. We're still really quiet so now the owner wants us to do a 3 day week instead. Does this mean redundancy would be based on that? I'm with the company about 11 yrs. We don't have contracts/unions or anything like that. The manager's main concern always is how it affects him, so no point trying to talk to him..The other thing is me & my partner are planning to try for a baby this summer. Does that affect things much? None of my friends are clued in either, so I figured ask here or citizens advice. Any advice greatfully appreciated. Thanks, coz I really am clueless

    If you were made redundant within a year of being put on reduced hours or pay, your redundancy payment would be based on your earnings for a full week. If you are made redundant after working reduced hours for more than a year, how your payment will be calculated depends on whether you accepted being on reduced hours or not. If you fully accepted the reduced working hours as your normal week and never asked to return to full-time work, then your redundancy payment will be based on your gross pay for the reduced working hours. If, on the other hand, you never accepted the reduced working hours as your normal hours and continually asked to be put back on full-time working, your payment would be based on your normal weekly earnings.

    If you have been put on short time and then are made redundant your redundancy payment may be based on your pay for a full week.
