  • Company in Administration less than 6 months after they retracted redundancy notice

    Might be a tricky one this. I work for a Limited Company which is owned by a Plc.

    I am livid.

    On the 1st April 2016 we (5 employees, 2 Directors) were told in an open office that we were all on notice on the 1st May. We each received letters telling us our notice period entitlement but not amount to be paid, mine being 10 weeks notice ending on 15th July. The day I went on holiday.

    During that time we were repeatedly told to keep working as normal and that our notice will be retracted. On the 15th July my notice hadn't been retracted, I was assured it still would be. I returned to work on the 1st August to a 'Memo' dated 31st July telling me my notice had been retracted (2 weeks late).

    Today, less that 6 months later, our company has been put into administration, briefly saying it will be wound up by the end of January then into liquidation. We were assured by our employer (Chairman of the plc) that we will receive everything we are entitled to which implies the Plc will pay it all. However it transpires we will receive a claim form from the Administrators and from what I read it is capped at £330 per week?

    We were already on the verge of filing for unfair dismissal last time because they didn't follow the correct procedure, and now they have done this. We all feel screwed over, especially knowing the Chairman is selling the other companies in the group.

    Is this not classed as constructive? Surely it is naughty of them to retract our redundancy when they cannot guarantee long term employment?
    Would we be entitled to claim for protective payment award?
    Are they allowed to do this less than 6 months after retracting our notice?

    Thank you in advance for any help
