  1. Yes there is one other but he has considerably more knowledge than me so no issue there. No I was never given written notice just literally a phone call on a Sunday night not to come in Monday! The other issue I have is theoretically I am employed by this Temporary employment agency- set up to handle our wages, I would have presumed that they should be the ones notifying me of redundancy and had they been a genuine "employment agency " they would presumably have other positions to offer.
  2. Thank you for that steampowered, since posting I have had a call from the boss saying that she did not sack me, as implied by 3rd party, and did just make me redundant! They also stated that they would pay me any holiday I had left and a weeks wage. This is better than a kick in the teeth but I was hoping for a bit of compensation as no notice blah blah, no the company is not winding up again, they are under contract with a reliable firm. Thanks for all the info though
  3. I’ll try to be as brief as possible whilst giving all relevant info, so please bear with me! I have worked for the same company for almost 5 years, initially I was employed part time but within a yr was made full time. The company had been downsizing for a couple of years and had gone from a six company outfit down to one company, although the last company had gone into administration and wound up, it continued to operate as always but had added uk ltd to its former company name. The staff were retained but no employment contracts were given and they used the services of an agency to pay our wages through, having investigated said agency it would appear that it was set up for the sole purpose of administering our wages as the incorporation date and details coincide with the start up of the new company, also I discovered that the company behind the agency is registered to the same address as the accountants used by my employer, I don’t know how relevant that is. Any way I worked an 8am -5pm day , mon-fri for the past almost five years. We were given 21 days holiday per yr, overtime was compensated by time off in lieu, and sick pay at managers discretion, I was never sick so don’t know how that actually worked. I think that brings us up to date, so I was on annual leave for 10 days and on the final day my boss rang me and said, things have happened Im not sacking you but im gonna have to make you redundant, don’t come in tomorrow!! This method has been employed by her for at least the last 4 employees that I know of!! So I had just been paid my monthly salary and we were at the end of a month. I expected to be paid something the end of August but nothing, when I called I was informed that I was due nothing as I has been sacked?! I tried to clarify this but my calls go to answerphone – any advice would be appreciated.
