OK, doesn't look like there's a way around it so ... thanks for your reply.

I wouldn't have enough holidays but even if I did would that be an option? If the company is closing down on say June 30th, then if I had 4 weeks holidays would this bring my finish date up to the end of July? I wondered if I could use parental leave for the extra month ... not sure it this is...

I am pregnant and am being made redundant during the summer (company is closing down). Unfortunately, I will just miss out on getting maternity benefit by 4 weeks, as my redundancy date is 20 weeks before my due date (I understand that you can take maternity leave 16 weeks before due date). Is...

Re: Unpaid Maternity Leave - Implications for Statutory Redundancy + Jobseekers Benef Thanks for your reply Black Sheep.

I have just been made redundant, complete bolt out of the blue, and know very little about what to do next. I have read your key post 'Guide for Unemployed People' and found it very useful. However, I just have a few queries about my entitlements... I took the additional 16 weeks unpaid...

I got internal glass doors from Door Choice in Crumlin.

Hi, We knocked through double doors from our sitting room to kitchen recently. Got a builder to do it, cost €2,600 for the work (this also included some other carpentry work in the kitchen). It was quite a messy job, dust everywhere and had to move out all furniture, but well worth it, has...

Thanks for that, will get that sorted so.

I will be starting maternity leave in September, my employer is paying me in full while on leave. I have been trying to work out if it makes any difference if I get my maternity benefit paid directly to my employer and receive my pay cheque as usual each month or get my maternity benefit paid...

Thanks Black Sheep, I'll ring NERA and see if I can find out more. Kimkim

I haven't tried the new commute yet but it is more than doubling the distance (I currently travel about 8km to work which takes 45-60mins and this will rise to 24km , so I don't see it being less than 1.5 hours each way). When you say it is the redundancy section that make the decisions on a...

By the way, when you say you ca try out the new situation for 1 month, where is this length of time set out?

Thanks Black Sheep, you beat me to it :-)

Hi MandaC Thanks so much for your reply. It all seems very vague, who can decide what is a reasonable distance? If your employer decides that the relocation distance is not unreasonable then where does that leave you? I really wouldn't like to approach my employer about redundancy before I had...

Hi, I have searched the threads on this subject but cannot find any info. The company I work for is reloacting about 16 km from its current office in Dublin to a location just outside Dublin. This will make it very difficult for me to continue working there as it will add 32km a day to my...

Thanks Mr Purple.

Hi, Thanks both for the replies, very helpful. Can I ask would it be best to go M50 and N4 or cross country by Tallaght, Clondalkin, Newcastle? Kimkim

Any ideas how long this might take during rush hour? And what would be the best route to take? Thanks, Kimkim

Great, thanks for the advice!

Hi all, thanks for the advice. The reason we are putting a 'sunroom' and not a regular extension is because its the cheapest option. It doesn't bother me that it won't get much sun, I'd still like there to be plenty of glass though as it would feel more spacious and it would be nice to be able...
