You have every right to make a formal complaint. If you do this make sure that you follow the grievance procedure to the letter that is in your contract/ statement of employment or your company handbook. (you should have one of these).
The grounds for your action are 'Constructive Dismissal'.
However, make sure that the Company has nothing up it's sleeve such as promoting you or transferring you to other departments or duties.
Some Companies work in strange ways.
One very important question that I need the answer to is:
How long have you been in their employ?
Please answer and I will see if it has any bearing on your position.

If you work in the UK and you've been working at your company for more than one year, you have loads of rights. If they do make you redundant, they have to give you a minimum notice period or pay in lieu of giving you notice. If they've given you no indication in writing or verbally that your performance isn't good, you've got a great case if they let you go. A consultation with an employment attorney doesn't cost you anything by phone but will run you up to 250P an hour if you discuss the case in person.

Depends on your contact of employment. However under normal circumstances a company is entitled to make the best use of resources and if they think it is to their commercial advantage to move the work to another employee then there is not a lot you can do. If you think they are deliberately trying to get rid of you by taking work away then you do have the option of leaving and claiming "constructive dismissal" but that is a very very difficult case to win. I don't know enough about your circumstance to really advise you so I would suggest you see a lawyer who knows about employment law. Citizens Advice or a local law centre if you have one.

As far as I know you must live in a communist country in order to have a "Right" to be employed. In the states many states can allow and do allow employeers to hire and fire at will. In my state you can be terminated with no cause at all. It looks like you are on your way out. I sure does smell funny. You may want to begin sniffing around for other job openings. Get some options and you will feel better. In the course of looking you may find a better deal and just quit. Good luck.

I would find out why the contracts were removed. If UK based, contact ACAS. Your legal rights will depend (if UK based) on your length of employment and may also be tied to you contract of employment.

Disagree. We sign a settlement and be responsive to precisely what we are doing. If something, a certainty television contestant could desire to sue for libel and defamation of character using modifying, yet all of it is stipulated interior the contracts and the contestants sign them. I study my settlement in the previous signing it. i'm shocked they gained that lawsuit. could certainty shows pay the contestants greater? The shows not in keeping with celebrities have incredibly unknown contestants. they're paid subsequently, as you get room and board and holiday to boot. bear in concepts, the forged of acquaintances made lots greater of their fourth season than they did while they filmed the pilot.

you have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
