if i am made redundant but my employer asks me to stay on with a temporary contract on a month to month basis

Question

where do i stand should i be given my payment up front or should it be defered until the tempory contract ends?

Answer 1

You should be paid at the end of each month if you want to be. But if youre doing exactly the same job, did he have the right to make you redundant in the first place?

Answer 2

Yes, I have heard of this situation - the job is being made redunadant and most of the workers go, but the employer needs one or two people to stay on and finish up certian things, so they ask people to stay on on a month by month contract. It happens a lot in the voluntary sector where the funding for a project comes to an end, but the organisation manages to find little bits of money to keep it going for a while.
You will receive your redundancy pay when you finally leave - and dont forget that the extra months you are working could count towards a bigger payout at the end.

Answer 3

If you're doing the same job, you're not being made redundant!

Redundancy is a result of the job itself disappearing.

If they are changing the job spec, and are asking you to work shorter or longer hours, or to work from another location, then they should pay you a lump sum which includes at minimum statutory redundancy pay plus any back-pay you are owed (including holiday) then if you want to work for them you can enter into a new contract. Be warned that under a monthly contract you probably won't get sick pay, holiday pay, you'll probably have to pay your own taxes and NI, you definitely won't be eligible for maternity, paternity or compassonate leave, and of course you will not be eligible for redundancy or to make unfair or constructive dismissal claims. Your company is either cutting overheads or they're transitioning with plans to get rid of you altogether. They're probably going to do away with your job soon enough but want to save on larger redundancy pay-outs either that or they're going to hire somebody else to do your job.

Please tell me now - are you or your partner pregnant or do you have any medical issues? Have you had any problems with management, or has the company recently employed new people? Finally, tell me if your company is undergoing merger, takeover or share sale talks?

Take legal advice, definitely.

Answer 4

You should be paid your reduncy money at the end of that working month. and then leave the company. if you are being made reduntant then that is becuase the job is no longer required with in the company, contact you local Employee office. details can be obtained from you personel department. be careful if you stay with the company you may not be entiled to the money!

Answer 5

you should be paid your redundancy first then payed by the month after that because your are officially finished working for your employer.but you are helping out temporally.
