Hi all,
I work for a well known high street supermarket and they recently lowered the redundancy period from 2 weeks for every year worked to just 1 week.
This happened prior to large swaths of redundancies being announced.
My question is, did we have to sign anything to accept these new terms as the only announcement we got regarding these changes were published on our intranet.
I assumed that any major changes in employees contract of employment would have need to of been signed, which we never did.
Sadly, we are not allowed to join a union so there isn’t any support there.
Any legal info on this would be greatly appreciated!
