Which company ?
Maybe there's work there until you go then a change in structure afterI don't mate. My mates missus is HR manager at a local company and she said whenever she has had to dish out redundancies she just let's workers leave straight away and give them their notice pay in leiu. The one time senior management insisted on the lads working their notice people were coming to blows on the shop floor when arguments erupted over who should have stayed and who should have been made redundant![]()
Don't be doing any gardening with your bad knees mindThere's 150 of us going nationally and I've never feigned sickness before so I'm not out of the door for that reason.
The company should just do the right thing and when they give us our notice put us on gardening leave.
No mate FM companySlightly ot but do you work in the energy industry by any chance? One of our competitors laid off the majority of their staff yesterday and our company have done the same with a few today. Worrying times
Mitie?No mate FM company
Got my notice via email last night, checked with line manager this morning that the notice period had officially started which he confirmed. We are working away at the minute so I promptly packed my bags, left the hotel and fucked off home, that's me done.You owe them nothing. I wouldn't feel bad. I've never been asked to work redundancy notice, too much room for damage.

Just double checking here mate but when you say the notice period in my contract has to be the same as statutory notice do you mean the notice the company has to give me or the notice I have to give them if I was resigning ?It'll depend on whether your contractual notice period is higher than the statuary notice.
In general though, presuming your contractual notice period is the same as the statutory minimum, you should be fully paid for your notice period if dismissed even if you're incapable of working due to sickness.
Unless your contract says otherwise, it'll be one week notice for every year you have worked there, capped at 12 weeks.Just double checking here mate but when you say the notice period in my contract has to be the same as statutory notice do you mean the notice the company has to give me or the notice I have to give them if I was resigning ?
Mine was 12 weeks and from december will be 6 months (a contract I was meant to sign in April and they have been too lax with gettting it legally written up) , not sure if it’s a good or bad thing but suppose if get bullet they would need give me 6 month salaryUnless your contract says otherwise, it'll be one week notice for every year you have worked there, capped at 12 weeks.
Where I worked it was standard for redundancy. Either that or pilon.Garden leave is normally associated with bad leavers , sometimes escorted off premises
Depends on the business and role.I would have thought you would still want staff to work their notice ? Unless was bad feeling from either side
I've never feigned sickness before so I'm not out of the door for that reason.
Yeah my contract says the company has to give zero notice if I was there less than a month, 1 weeks notice if there between a month and 2 years then beyond that 1 week per year there to a maximum of 12 years which I believe is exactly the same as statutory.Unless your contract says otherwise, it'll be one week notice for every year you have worked there, capped at 12 weeks.
Statutory is a week for resigning if you've worked there more than a month. Most companies tend to contract for 4 weeks though.However my contract says if I was to leave in other words resign I have to do exactly the same but only up to a maximum of 6 years, which I thought is more than statutory. I read that an employee only has to give 1 weeks notice if they are giving statutory notice ?

Yes, that's fine. It's a statutory minimum, you can agree more via contract.So in a nutshell what I'm saying is my contract seems to say that the company is following stat guidelines if finishing me but if I was to leave of my own accord I have to give more than stat guidelines.
