Changing company and redundancy

    Hi,


    Wonder if anyone can help me on this?


    My boss was to dissolve his company and start a new one and he wants to rehire all of us in the new company. Does he have to pay us redundancy for our 8 years? I am assuming he does as we will have new contracts with a new company and the years will be reset. He said the years of service will carry on to the new company but I am not sure if that's possible?


    Any help would be much appreciated.


    Dan

    Years ago a place I was working in "changed owners" but all employees transferred through.

    No redundancy was offered, but all working contracts, t&c, holiday entitlements built up, and, most importantly, years of service carried through.

    The last is what you need if redundancy crops up in the future.

    At the time, we too hoped (in a way) for redundancy, but because the "entity" (software and support) continued, it never would have applied.
