cgksheff   44 #2 Posted January 18, 2015 Lots of good information on here:  http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1461  ... and they have very helpful people on the end of a telephone.  The first thing to look at when considering your rights, is how long you have been in their employment.  Do they have written contracts?

MobileB   10 #4 Posted January 19, 2015 Can you provide outline information - how long they worked there - what was the reason given for dismissal - were they sacked on the spot or was a process followed  It can be complex but you can give information without naming the company or individuals and it can be educational for other forum users.

Cyclone   10 #11 Posted January 19, 2015 You made a valid point though, and whilst we know that jobs are made redundant and not people, the OP may not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
