Sub contractor to employee Rights?

[Mr Boots]

Evening All,

I have recently been told that I am being made redundant. With only just over a weeks notice.
I had currently worked for the company as a sub contractor with a role as a site supervisor. After working as a sub contractor for 2 years I was asked to become an employee on PAYE with the same role.
My final day of employment now will be one week short of being employed for 2 years. Because I have not served 2 years on the books I am not regarded as having employee rights relating to redundancy.
will any of my time working as a sub contractor help with my case in fighting for redundancy.

Thanks
Boots

Sorry to hear about your situation.

I presume you either worked as a self-employed sub-contractor or you were contracted via a third party company either way you were not an employee of the company so not entitled to count this time towards any entitlement to redundancy pay. I also presume that your contract of employment gives the date you joined them as an employee for the purposes of continuous employment.
