    Re: Liquidation/ Redundancy

    Originally posted by Eloise01 View Post
    Just to clarify - as I said, it is also a get out clause for the RPO, which is why the OP needs to be careful here. The company is not currently in liquidation. The staff have not been given any notice and currently have no written termination of contracts. Therefore it is very arguable in law that they have resigned their positions by taking up other employment without either of these things. Suppose the liquidator, when appointed, sells the company intact? The jobs are therefore saved and the employees have, in effect, "buggered off"! Until there is firm evidence that something has happened, the situation is the status quo - the employees have jobs and the issue at hand is faliure to provide work / unpaid wages. The RPO will only step in if there is a liquidation - otherwise it is a matter for other legal remedies.

    Can't seem to find that term in the ERA! :bolt:

      Re: Liquidation/ Redundancy

      ok have been emailed the letter dated 1st July which says the following: I am sorry to inform you that effective immediately I have made the decision, following a long meeting at the accountants to put the company into administration. I am therefore giving you notice of the termination of your employment effective as of todays date. I understand the liquidators representative will guide you through the process of claiming your redundancy once appointed. I'm sorry to have given you this bad news

        Ok - print off multiple copies, keep them safe and don't delete the original (computers have been known to go wrong so don't depend on electronic files alone). That will be fine then as you have your evidence...

          Many thanks for your help Eloise. It has lifted a weight off my shoulders! I will get copies printed out for all the guys (as owner emailed all of their letters to my hubby???). Do you think e should still ask him to post the letter or will the pdf be sufficient? It does have his signature and the company details on.

            That should be fine. There's a point at which you accept you have what you need and don't push your luck!
