  1. Hello, My point is that they have not followed their own procedure. I was supposed to receive written confirmation of my redundancy along with all other final documents the day or day after my final consultation meeting. With only a small number of days to go before I am supposed to exit the the company I have yet to receive them. If it is not confirmed, is it valid ?
  2. Morning Folks, Was hoping I could possibly seek some further opinion on a different aspect of this matter. My third and final individual consultation was held last week where it was verbally confirmed that my position had indeed been made redundant. I was advised an exit date of November 6th. It was confirmed at this point that I would receive written confirmation. I was asked if provision of these documents was acceptable the following day as the HR rep was busy. I agreed that receipt of docs the following day was acceptable. The redundancy policy also states "the employee be served with notice of redundancy" As of yet no confirmation or documentation has been received. I also have questions over the validity of the redundancy policy provided. Would this merit fair grounds for appeal ? Policy states the following right of appeal ; "If the employee wishes to appeal against a redundancy decision, he or she must submit the grounds upon which the appeal against the Company’s decision is based, in writing, within five (5) working days of the date of the notice of redundancy." Appreciate any advice, feedback or opinion.
  3. Apologies HB. Thanks for moving. Thanks Emmzzi, just what I was looking for. That helps a lot.
  4. A SAR to my employer on 25-09-20 for information surrounding my posts selection for possible redundancy. I feel as though I was initially fobbed off and discouraged from doing doing so by the HR rep it submitted to. She initially responded stating that I did not need to officially request this information as it would be made available as part of the consultation process and continued to list what I could expect to receive as such. Nothing she quoted was the information I was seeking as it only covered information relating to to the consultation process, not the selection. When I questioned this I was informed that I could not request said information and that I was not entitled to request information about me shared by management via email or any other means of correspondence. I informed her that I did not think this to be correct and that I was of the belief that I could request all and any information held about me regardless of format, be it email, text message, personnel files, CCTV images etc. Please confirm if this correct or not. She, at this point, became very defensive and again attempted to dissuade me from submitting the request. I submitted the request anyway. Since then I initially was informed that the request would take more than the allotted 30 days to complete and asking if I would except an extension of a further 30 days. This I grudgingly agreed to. I have since been notified that the request may take even longer than this and has been extended by two months for completion. Is this allowed ? Despite asking if I would like the request kept confidential I am aware that they have been contacting colleagues who have no knowledge of the subject matter requested. I feel that they are over complicating the matter and that this a ploy to prevent providing any information that may assist any appeal etc until after all deadlines have past.
  5. Hello, I am seeking a little advice as to my rights. Basically I would like to know if my job title and description etc should be a true representation of the position acknowledged to be held and job function performed. Me employment began back in November 2014 in certain position. Within a number of months I was transferred to a different department and position. This was done with no input from myself. There is a little bit of a back story here too. Since then, and several documented requests for my title and description to be reevaluated they remain unchanged and reflect the position I was originally hired to undertake and bear no relevance to duties etc now performed. This came to bear some significance recently when some new positions were announced. Not knowing exactly what my position is I felt quite disadvantaged. I was unsure if any of the new positions would potentially be a career advancement or if I would again be better seeking clarification on my own position. Again I raised this question and explained my feelings I was told that it would be looked into and that if nothing heard within two weeks to re-approach. Couple of points here : This put it beyond the closing date for some of the positions applications leaving me unsure if I would be better off applying for some of these positions or persisting in attempting to gain clarity on existing position. Most of the new positions make reference to position I fulfill. I am the only person who performs this role. The two week time period has elapsed with no update despite a request being made. Others within the company who have changed position and moved departments all appear to have had titles etc amended to reflect this. Advice appreciated.
  6. Turns out they have a written contract stipulating working hours among some other details. They have been told there is no chance of redeployment as there are no other sites available and that they will be "made redundant". It will only be statutory but that is better than nothing the employer first claimed was payable having seen their error. They are now in line to receive 8 years worth of redundancy along with any outstanding holiday pay etc. A happy, successful and correct outcome.
  7. A little further information. They have been employed with the same company for 8 to 9 years, have only ever been located in this current building. For the past 4 years plus have been working 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. A total of 30 hrs a week. They are not sure of they have a written contract etc.
  8. Quick edit on the above. The contract has been held by the same company for the 8 years in question and the cleaner has been employed and posted here for the duration of this time.
  9. Hello all, Posting on behalf of a work colleague. Have passed them site details and suggested they register themselves. The person in question works as a cleaner for a third party company who have a contact with our business. Our business is part of a much larger group who are currently restructuring. As part of the restructure, our business is moving from its current facility to a new shared site along with other parts of the organisation. For this reason our contract with the cleaning company is due be terminated. This now leaves the cleaner, who has 8 years service at this site, all be it possibly with differing cleaning comapanies. By this I mean that although the contracted agent has maybe changed it has always been the person holding the position and performing the duties. They have essentially moved with the contact. They have now been informed that once the closes they are basically redundant. It is also being claimed they they are not entitled to any redundancy as it not them, her employer (cleaning company) who are making them redundant but us as we the ones moving site. No other positions are available for them to be relocated / transferred to. What are their rights in this case ?
  10. Would you believe it. Switch blocked again. This is beyond a joke now. It stopped being funny a long time ago.
  11. Wow, does no one at Scottish Power talk to each other or pass information. Since the meter change I have received several letters that contradict each other. Today, I received two ; One confirming the work completion and what the next stages are re. administering the second MPAN. A second apologizing for the lack of action and progress there has been on my complaint and how they will prioritise the actions needed to solve it. Despite this, the switch so far seems to be progressing. New supplier has been in touch to say they have began the process and will progress the switch at the end of the cooling off period. Here's hoping.
  12. Wonders will never cease. Not only is my switch progressing so far objection free, I received a cheque today from SP containing a "Good Will Gesture" payment for the trouble and inconvenience caused.
  13. Will now have to restart the switch process to new supplier and see how it goes. Hopefully this time it will go through without objection. Only then will it be truly over and complete.
  14. Success !!! Despite twice seeking to cancel the appointment due to a lack of engineers in the area and then on the day itself the engineer having been given incorrect details threatening to lead to the job being cancelled, the meter has finally been changed. Pressure, persistence and patience prevailed.
  15. Lets hope so. I have responded to their appointment change request in the negative advising that this is not suitable and that I wish to stick with the offered and accepted date of the 2nd. Still to hear from them either way.
