What are my rights if I have to leave my job ,and its not my fault??

Question

I was working for one company for the last five months,and they told me one day they have lost contract for the job what i was doing .
They offered me other job ,what is different to what i was doing,and is not suitable for me,and I will have to leave.
Could I get some compensation? I didnt get any notice,i lost my job from one day to another.Ok they have offered me another job,but its not good for me ,so what can i do in this case?

Answer 1

Sometimes, companies have a severance package. In this case, probably not.

What about collecting unemployment?

Answer 2

Sorry, at least they have offered you another job, I would take it if i was you, at least it is a job and you tend to get to know about other jobs when you are already working. You won`t be able to get compensation but if you do stay with that firm watch for the job you have been doing coming back, if it does and someone else takes it you may have a case.

Answer 3

Dear Friend,
5 months on a job means you are still in a probation period. They do not owe you any compensation, or notice. It is nice of that Company to at least offer you another position. If it is not suiting you, that is not their fault. My advise would be to try out the new position. You might just start enjoying it more than the last position. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Well as they offered you a new position doing a different job, then they have legally done what they are supposed to do.

The choice was yours to refuse the job and therefor leave the company.

For that reason, you left the company at your own will and therefor not entitled to any form of compensation.

Answer 5

Good luck. If I were you I would take the job offered at least until you find something more suitable to you.

As far as your options? Sorry, but I do not believe you have much recourse here. They are offering you something and that is about as good as it gets. If you refuse for whatever reson, then it is on your head.

sorry.

Answer 6

I believe the terminology for what you are going through is called a CONSTRUCTIVE DISMISSAL.

that is, they are violating your contract by offering you another posiiton that has nothing, or very little to do with what you were hired to do, often to get the person to quit. Its usually regarded as bullying and an unfair.

Do you have anything in writing as to what your job duties were? Is there a susbstantial decrease in pay? If so..then you could be entitled to compensation. Talk to your company first...ideally your human resources department and inform them that you wer hired as such and such and and you feel that what they are doing constiitutes a constructive dismissal, and as such, you are entitled to be compensated.

Answer 7

No rights after only 5 mths. they have honoured their obligations by offering you alternative employment, but you have chosen not to take it... get up the job center & find something else. Hopefully theyll give you a good reference.

Answer 8

Your employer is not required to give you notice. Be thankful they found another job for you. You have the right to either accept the new job or turn it down. You have the right to apply for unemployment.

Answer 9

That's life.

Unless you had a written contract stating otherwise, you are hired "at will" - meaning you can quit at any time with or without a reason, and they can let you go with or without a reason at any time.

Sounds like they are trying to go the extra mile to keep you.

Answer 10

you would need to check if there is a variation in your employment contract.
The required legal minimum notice is one week if you have been employed for at least one month but less than two years.
You need to speak to an adviser at your local CAB.
