being in full time employment if my employer lays me off as he as no work am i still entitled to pay?

Answer 1

There are very specific rules about this, but it does depend largely on your employment contract. However, it does not matter wether you are full time or part time, you still have the same rights. Are you still under a trial period with the company? Is you employment with them on a fixed term contract basis?

Most employers do not realise that they simply cannot do what they want with their employees, just because it suits them. You do have rights.

Assuming that you are on a normal full time employment contract with the company, then they do need your permission to reduce your working week. They would also be required to give you so many weeks notice that this is going to happen.

If you refuse to reduce your working week with the company, then they would have to let you remain as a full time worker on full pay, or make you redundant. However, do remember that redundancy pay is not as much as people think it is.

Answer 2

If your employer is laying you off because he has no work for you, then you are in fact being made redundant. If you have worked for the company/firm for at least 2 years, you could be entitled to a reduncancy payment. Visit the website below for further details. If you've been employed for less than 2 years, then you will have no entitlement to a redundancy payment and will only receive payment for any holiday accrued plus, if you were unable to work one week's notice, then you're entitled to one week's pay in lieu of notice. (I'm assuming you're in the UK).

Answer 3

This depends on how long you worked there. You say 'lays you off'. Do you mean made you redundant. If so then you entitled to redundancy pay if you been there over 2 years. It works out at a weeks wage for every year you been there over 2 years.

Answer 4

if your employer has no work for you to do, they may put you on short-time working or lay you off. Short-time working means you will receive only part of your normal wage. If you are laid off, you will not usually get paid. A person who is laid off or put on short-time working may be entitled to a payment from their employer, called a ‘guarantee payment’.

If you have been laid off or put on short-time working you should consult an experienced adviser about the benefits and other payments you may be entitled to, for example, a Citizens Advice Bureau.

Answer 5

Think about it - the only point in laying you off is to save the money he pays you as wages.

Answer 6

Answer 7

You need to check your contract to see if you will get guaranteed payments during a lay off. They are usually not as much as your wage, and if youre not contracted to get them then I dont think you'll get anything.

Answer 8

Depends whether you're fully employed or a sub contractor, and the terms of your contract of employment. You'll need to re-read your contract.

Answer 9

No.

You're only entitled to pay if you're under contract to receive it under these specific conditions.
