Losing your job - entitlements
 
Re: redundancy

Can you be made redundant from a company if you have worked there less than 2 years. I heard a rumour that if you have worked in the company less than 2 years they cannot make you redundant and have to offer you another position in the same company.
Is that true?
 
Re: redundancy

No. In fact being there less than a year means that you have practically no job security (other than perhaps unfair dismissal protection).
 
Re: redundancy


If you work there less than two years you cannot claim statutory redundancy payments, but you can still be made redundant (subject to usual anti-discrimination provisions if working there less than a year). As with all redundancies (regardless of length of service), a company must use reasonable efforts to redeploy staff subject to redundancy - such as offering them another position if they are suitable for it.

Well it looks likes I'm a prime candidate then. TV3 aren't exactly known for splashing the cash.
