Company closed, will I get my redundancy?

[Fringer]

"just"??

 

Not putting anyone down of course - wrong choice of word

To save us re-reading the thread, have you spoken to HMRC about the P45 issues? They might be able to advise you.

I did in the very beginning and was told to contact my employer

 

My employer told me to contact the liquidator

 

The liquidator told me to contact HMRC

I've just spoken to HMRC and have JUST been told that they have a P45 with the correct information on, and was issued a payslip for May showing zero figures

 

I received the payslip for May last month when I contacted the accountant who ran the payroll and it clearly states my monthly pay

That sounds hopeful. Please keep us posted.

Hi all

 

Just a quick question

 

If a company has gone into liquidation, are they allowed to delete all personnel records held on file? Internal emails, external letters ect?

[BankFodder]

I think that not only are they allowed to delete all these records but they probably have a duty to do so once the use for these records no longer exists.

I suppose that you are finding that it is rather convenient for them to have done this – you are probably right – I'm afraid that I don't think there is anything you could do

[Fringer]

Ok thanks. I did think that would be the case but needed to check

Thanks again

it would be usual to keep them for 1-5 years, the liquidators will be responsible for ensuring that pertinent records are kept. Email are a different kettle of fish though, once the comapny stops paying for use of a swerver then it all gets scrubbed
