I've started a new heading on this one ....
On Friday afternoon myself and 6 others were told that we were being laid off for a 4 week period and that it is not a redundancy situation. We will be told in 4 weeks whether they are actually making us redundant. We left the office without salary for the first two weeks of the month ..... which we are told will be paid as usual on pay day. If we are being made redundant it will be two weeks after that - and no confirmation was given that notice and holidays etc will be paid [as we are just being laid off!]. I imagine they do not have the money to pay redundancy right now and are stalling in the hope that some of us will get jobs in the 4 week period whereby no redundancy will be payable.
What do I need to watch out for - they have taken advice but it's obviously all to cover their point of view. I don't imagine they have done anything illegal but who knows?
