Thanks For Your Advice - Yes I Was Paid Redundancy As You Say Im Not Happy With The Amount I Was Paid And The Contractual Terms And Discrimination If Id Sat In A Differt Part Of The Office I Would Have Had Twice The Amount Of Redundancy I Hadnt Gone To Anyone Else As Naivley I Trusted The Union To Do As Thye Said They Would The Union Had Committed To Looking Into It And Had Said They Were Apointing A Solicitor They Dragged There Feet Then Changed The Union Rep And Turned Round And Said It Policy Its A Big Company Just Accept It

i finshed employment in june after working there for over 15 years

I worked for a large company which was taken over by a diferent company. The terms and conditions were different dependant upon which part of the company you worked ie redundancy payments in my department was 2 weeks for every year worked, other departments would be paid 4 weeks for every year worked. The company advised last October in a memo that the redundancy payments were going to be harmonised for everyone My department was advised in the December of pending redundancy in the following year. Surprise surprise the company then decided they would put on hold and we would only receive 2 times our weekly wage, if I had been working in a diferent part of the company I would have been entitled to 4 weeks redundancy for very week worked. I know companys arent obliged to pay above goverment statutory payments, but ive lost out because i work for a different part of the company. I am in the union however they werent very supportive said they would take up at Director level and after lots of fobbing off from them, they came back and said it was company policy and i should accept it. Had the union come back quicker i could have taken up a grivance while still employed with the company. I didnt do this as the union said they were looking into and now my employment has ceased and I dont think the company greviance procedure is an option Surely this cant be right Has anyone got any ideas whether this could be taken to tribunal

Hello All Thank you to everyone on the site, reading all the threads has been very helpful. We have recieved an offer in full on the 18th August:D , we are wondering how the money will be paid and how soon. And when do we cancel the moneyclaim online. Also we have another account with HSBC which has charges on, can we now claim for that account, if so can we just bring it to the attention of the DG solicitors (don't you just love there answer phone messages) and see if we can shorten the process.
