Thread: Question re: length of service & redundancy

Hi,

Assuming that Company A is the parent company of Company B - I joined Company B in 1999 and transferred to Company A (parent group) in 2005. If I were now to be made redundant from Company A would the redundancy payment be calculated on 10 years service or on the 4 years that I have worked in the parent company? (A)

Sorry if this is misleading - I couldn't think of a better way of explaining

It would depend if your employment was continuous when you moved from A to B. Do you have a contract? It would state your start date at company B and a continuous start date would be the one at company A.

Cheers Aaron, i'll check the contract. I moved directly from a job at company B to a job at company A therefore it is a continuous service.

Then you should be fine, if you got issued a contract (ammendment perhaps) I would just double check that continuous date on the contract to clarify.
