Contract Q

WexCan

Hey all,

Long story short, my job's being offshored, have a contract until March which the company will probably honour (will be moving internally hopefully, anyway) Just wondering if they legally have to employ me until March or if they can just give me the week's notice.

My contract has the usual "notice period from employer/employee is one week", but does that apply to redundancy-type-situations?

Any advice appreciated.

Impossible to give a definative answer but if you have been employed for less than a year then your contract makes it look like they can let you go at a weeks notice.

As for redundency if you job is gone then they can probably give you redundency. Unless of course your contract specifically says that the employer will complete the contract in full (in legal speak of course) - which it wont, unless your really in the big time.

Your contract can be cancelled with a weeks notice and you given no redundancy. I'm a contractor and thats the way it works I'm afraid.
