I have work for a cleaning company for 6 months. I was working for a client and was the only cleaning employee on a 10hr a week contract. On Thursday 27th the client emailed my cleaning company and cancelled the contract with immediate affect. I only found this out when I went to work and found a note asking for my building key to be returned after the clean. When I called the cleaning company I was told by my manger to go to work on Friday as I now worked for the client. I did go to work but with no key or note/instruction from the client and had to leave the property when the last worker left for the night.
I received a call from the client the following Monday and was told I was no longer needed and did not need to turn up for work that evening and he and his wife was cleaning the offices now
I was previously unaware of TUPE and failure to consult and have so far only the web for advice. I have had no warnings or disciplinary during my employment. Since the call from the client a week ago I have heard nothing further. I would like to contact the client to discuss the situation and try and get any money owing before legal action. My cleaning company has passed over my contract details to the client. This is my 2nd job
So, my questions are
Due to only working 6 months is this wrongful dismissal rather than unfair dismissal?
Can I claim failure to consult if I am the only cleaner working for the client?
What financial compensation could I claim? I read about a max of 13 weeks pay
If the client does not pay and I am forced to go to tribunal what sort of cost could I be looking at?
Many Thanks in advance. If I need to provide any more info please ask.
Cheers
