Hi everyone
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. sorry its a long post
My wife works for the local volunteer center which was split over two separate building, recently they have had to merge together to save money so where my wife worked was being closed down and she would be moving over the road to the other building, my wife works mon-wed 21 hours contacted to that job and someone who's kinda job shares works thu-fri 14 hours( she is from the other building and does some of my wife job and bits of others)
They moved buildings last week, now the week before that my wife and this girl + someone else who sorts the wages got dragged into a meeting and was basically told that the wage girl was keeping her job and the other two (my wife) had to have an interview for the only remaining job, if they wanted they could take VR but both wanted to keep job so refused
A few days ago an email was sent stating that Service, attendance and interview would all be as equal as each other. This was just a one line email it was said like it was fact, that's the way it was to be done but later in her redundancy meeting she found out she could have questioned this but as the email didn't state anything like this we just didn't know we could.!
my wife had the interview and sadly didn't get the job they failed her on her attendance and said that she didn't do as good as the other girl in the interview.
My wife has 5 and a half years service and the girl on has 3 years
They said my missus attendance was worse because she had 27 days off while the girl only had 2 now there is a story behind this they looked back over 2 years but because my missus had been off for maternity leave (The other girl was her cover) they took it back even further 3 years which did catch a period where she was off for 3 weeks on the trot due to really poor health (if they took it back 2 years 11 months they wouldn't have caught this illness!!) since that time her attendance record is very clean.. the girl only had her attendance record took back 2 years? during this period though my wife was a full time employee and the girl was only part time - my wife worked 4 day the girl worked 1.5 days, she was also pregnant during this period
Is this correct can they seriously take attendance record back to 2010? she has never been in trouble at all or disciplined because of it when the wife asked about this and said that she didn't think it was done proportionately she was told that she was right it wasn't done that way but it was too difficult to do so they didn't.
They also stated that if they did change it to proportionate attendance that the girl who got the job could take them to a tribunal because it would be unfair and seem like they were fiddling the figure's BUT my wife would be ok becasuse i had a good job now!
My wife has since been for her final redundancy meeting to discuss her notice period and redundancy pay but they didn't have time to work how much she would get out, so couldn't tell her? but said its something like £250 per week which was different to what she got told just after the interviews when her manager spoke to her regarding her not getting the job she stating she would get about £400.
Today my wife went to work her manager is off till the 12 August and never told anyone, but greeting my wife was an email stating her manager had worked out her redundancy pay and she would get £187 per week = £935 minus the extra holidays she has taken which they have classed the bank holidays in that taking away £350
she is shocked right now, and to be honest i don't know where to start to sort this out if its even possible?
