Redundancy Query

    Just wondering if anyone can help me on this one...

    I was put on short-time in April 2009, having worked full-time for over 2 years with the company. They were making me redundant but I offered to work a 2 day week which they accepted and have been doing so ever since.

    My question is: am I still entitled to the redundancy if I decide to leave the company?

    Hi Nody are you absolutely certain of that. I'm confused by the information on the citizens information website in relation to short-time. For example:
    <<
    Duration of lay off or short time

    If you do not wish to claim redundancy but the lay-off or short-time situation continues, the question arises as to whether it is a temporary situation. If it becomes apparent that it is no longer temporary then the situation is now a redundancy rather than a lay-off or short-time working. It is the employer who initially decides whether or not there is a redundancy situation. If there is a dispute about this it should be referred to the Employment Appeals Tribunal to make a decision.
    >>


    Is being put on short-time not effective redundancy? Having spoken to my employer recently, there is no prospect of reverting to full-time.


    Just wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation and could offer some advice?

    Incorrect. Of course there is an entitlement!!?! As long as there hasn't been a break in service, then you can ask for redundancy at any stage (after 4 weeks on short-time), if the reinstatement of fulltime hours is not forthcoming. That's pretty much the long and the short of it.
