My niece has been with a company for 10 years and in January the new owner said he was looking for 2 people to apply for redundancy she volunteered.
She then made plans to go back to education using her redundancy package.
She was given the form and a leaving date of next week. Last week she was told he was now withdrawing the offer of redundancy.
I know under normal circumstances the person would be relieved to still have a job but she is really not, having made plans.
My question is can it be legal to do this?
