Re: Redundancy
At least you have time to start looking. I’m in the same situation, the prison where I work is going from a Cat C back to a Cat B and it will make my job almost impossible, as we’re a separate contractor they’ll soon cancel the contract.

Re: Redundancy
Sorry to hear that. Does that mean that your contract goes too?

Re: Redundancy
Two years of funding left in my current job. Applied for another in Glasgow. But from speaking to others up there, it wasn't really going to be a good fit for me so eventually I dropped out. Interestingly, it turns out the other front runner candidate dropped out too and the job went to their third choice.

Re: Redundancy
Applied for a stretch role, but didn't get it. One last option internally, but looking outside also. Have had my outcome letter, if nothing changes I'll be out by the end of October which gives me two months with full pay to find a new job.
I'm feeling frustrated right now. Need to be patient, but kind of at the "just rip the plaster off" stage of wanting to get on with it.

That's crap... I guess we won't be doing business together then? Are they shutting that site?DeskJockey wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:29 am Applied for a stretch role, but didn't get it.

Re: Redundancy
I'm working on getting budget for the PoC and will push for them to keep at it.
The site remains, just me that's going.

Re: Redundancy
check - IME that two months will pay may be tax free. Makes a big difference to what arrives in your bank…

Re: Redundancy
It isn't redundancy pay, just my notice period. But I'll check anyway!

Re: Redundancy
I don’t think you’ll get it.
When I was made redundant I got my notice period pay and the same again tax free as a redundancy payment.

Re: Redundancy
I'm not entitled to redundancy pay as I've not been there two years.

Re: Redundancy
Payment in lieu of notice isn’t redundancy payment. would you be expected to “work” your notice?

Re: Redundancy
No, they've offered to release me early as there's no reason to keep me on once I've handed over the things I'm working on. I've already planned my handover and it can be done in two weeks.
My manager is trying everything he can to make it as easy as possible.

Re: Redundancy
Im just reading up - i’ve had PILON before, at a company that i’d only been at <6 months and it was tax free (it was a good chunk of my first house deposit). not sure now…Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 1:29 pmWhy would payment in lieu of notice be tax free? Redundancy Payments are tax free, but afaia pilon is just treated as salary.
