I’m after some advice or help as I am currently furloughed by my employer of 3 years, but I am going through a redundancy consultation and it is pretty clear what the outcome is going to be!!
i have my third meeting with them on Monday afternoon and I’m just curious as to some professional/experienced thought on the following and what if any advice anyone has to offer.
so, here goes
The company went into lock down on Tuesday 24 March and i was able to work from home.
Monday 30 March I was emailed a letter informing me that i had been furloughed as of 23 March, albeit i had been working from home each day and not been consulted or agreed to be Furloughed.
Tuesday 31 March received my pay, which was slightly short as I had been not been paid full standard wage as been furloughed for the last week.
i have continued to be asked about outstanding accounts whilst on furlough and sent some emails, but nothing more.
Thursday 16 April, my line Director called me to say that the board of Directors were meeting to discuss life after lock down and I should look out for any emails over the next couple of days.
Thursday 17 April, I received an email at around 8pm, with a letter attached regarding redundancy consultation meeting that was planned for Monday 20th April, further to being advised on the previous days phone call, that nothing was said!!
Monday 20th April I attended the meeting and was told that the company were looking into redundancies so as to reduce costs and we discussed my position and options.
Wednesday 22 April, I attend my second meeting and was told that my division, of which I am the only employee was not going to be continuing after lock down. I explained that I had 3 live projects to return post lock down and failed to understand why they were looking to make me redundant whilst there are live projects of which I am the only person in the company to complete the outstanding projects.
i am set to meet them again on Monday 27 April for yet another meeting which I will probably be told they are making me redundant.
My queries are, is any of this fair due to the furlough scheme in place and they are in a position to not have to do anything whilst furlough is available. But also, whilst I have live projects to come back to.
what should I look for as a severance.
is this fair full stop, it seems to me, albeit biased, that they have singled me out and using this most unfortunate situation to let me go!
i thank anyone who has made it this far reading this and I look forward to all any any comments or advice.
