    hi all

    the wife is trying to go back to her job after being out of work for the last 5 years, she was out because our child was born sick and we needed to give her 24hr care for the last 4 years of her life.
    she is employed with the same employer for the last 17 years or so, so when she knew she was not going to be returning to work anytime soon she informed her boss who was understanding and told her not to worry about the job it will allways be there for her, she has always kept him in the know as her sister works there and so too her brother in law.
    any way our darling daughter passed away a couple of months ago so now the wife wants to return to work and informed her boss of her decision, so when she met him to discuss her options he told her she would have to complete training days and then he would allow her to return fully back on the floor for working duties.
    to date she has completed all training days asked and passed all tests hes asked of her, but hes now making a bit of a fool of her as he wont wont answer her calls and cancels face to face meetings at short notice.
    baring in mind she has done these training days (even tho shes fully qualified at what she does) at her own expence, she has not been paid a penny and in return has to pay for child care for our other daughter( nothing to do with the situation i know )his fiasco has been going on for the last 2 months and she now feels he dosent want her back in the job and gets the feeling he hoping for her to leave or just get another job( which he knows she could just do).
    any way what were looking for is some advice on does he have the right to just let her go and does she have any rights in being made redundand if he does, any advice is welcome and thanks for reading.

    Citizen information should be able to help you out on this. After that i wouldn't know

    Did she have a contract with the company? If it's just a word-of-mouth agreement, it could be a tenuous case. Do go to Citizens' Information though. Sorry to hear about your daughter; this employment grief is the last thing you need. I hope he's not being deliberately evasive.
