Redundancy rights question

aaronosiochain

Hello,

So, I was on a contract that finished up on 31st dec. I was put on a 3 day week due to no work available on dec 1 with a form which allowed me to claim redundancy. I continued on the 3 day week but now there is no more work available. My question is this - Am I still entitled to redundancy even though my contract expired on 31 dec??

Cheers,
A

It's solicitor time.

How can an employer possibly have given you a redundancy claim form if you were due to finish up anyway.

It sounds more like a fixed term contract that was coming to an end so no redundancy. Why solicitor claim time?

Op what was the name/number of the form you were given?

I was given RP9 at the start of dec, 31 days before my contract ended. Last day off work before xmas I was told that there would be no more work.

Did they complete section A of the form?

And was your contract due to end at the end of Dec. anyway?

Yes they completed the first part and yes contract was due to end. Options?
