I am due to complete maternity leave on 23 July and then return to work on 17th August following annual leave. My employer has informed my department and is due to formally inform me that my role is being displaced to London which is two hours away via rail. All staff are being told they will have a job but it will be in London and the company will help them find other jobs in the company if possible. The timetable for this has already started and this will all be sorted out by 1st September. I have been advised I am also within these deadlines yet I do not return until 17th August and therefore feel at a considerable disadvantage. They also want me to arrange my flexible working hours to take into account I could be working in London whereas I currently live five minutes from work and wish to do compressed hours which may not be possible if I work in London. Surely I can readdress my working hours if and when my place of work changes to this displacement otherwise I could risk redundancy at a significantly reduced salary.…

I am currently on maternity leave which is due to end the second week of September, and I did inform my employer that I would be taking additional maternity leave until January 2011. Although since I have been on maternity leave the company have been sold and the office I worked in has been relocated to an area out of my remit with a young baby! My company has made me aware that the office has relocated and sent a letter to me informing me that the consultation of an office move was taking place. I have since decided to return to work earlier than planned and, will be informing my employer that I will be looking to come back to work in October 2010... although the new office location is not accesible for me.Where do I stand? Should I be in receipt of redundancy from my employer due to the relocation (I have been employed for four years and two months approx).…

I am due to start my maternity leave next week (on my due date) and have just received a letter from my current employer stating that my current role is being made redundant. The only role they can offer me is more hours and in a different location - which is not what I want. Please can you advise what redundancy rights/package I would be entitled to (I have worked 4.5 years with them - so am assuming i get four weeks stat redundancy pay). However, am I entitled to this aswell as my full SMP for 9months? If I take the redundancy package and SMP, am I then restricted to when I start applying for another job?)…

I worked for a company from Feb 2005-Oct 2009 for 18 and a half hours a week to qualify for family tax credit, with 10 days holiday a year and I never got paid for bank holidays. My working days were Tuesday 5 and a half hours, Weds and Thurs, full days at 7 hours each. The company officially went bust in March 2010 and the two other staff members also long term, are claiming redundancy. I am in the process of re-sending paperwork to claim from the insolvency for unpaid salary that I am still owed over the whole period due to miss calculations from my employer. Am I also able to claim back holiday money as I now find that legally I should have been entitled to more days off plus the bank hols although part-time? I started on £6.00 salary that went up to £7.00 a year later then to £8.00 in July 2009. I would really appreciate it if you could advice me as to what I should do next with regards my entitlements. Many thanks.…
