Do I have to raise greivance procedure if been made redundant.?
|
I have just been told quite suddenly that I have after 4 years to increase my hours from 25 per week to 40 or be made redundant, I work part time because I am a carer. The meeting only lasted a few minutes because I was shocked. I have not been invited to a meeting after to discuss this just been told make your mind up. I am going to lodege a calim with employment tribunral...however in most cases you have to raise a grievance procedure, I dont think my company has one or I have never been told, but someone told me that if youve been dismiss/redundant this does not apply. Can anyone help.

There are laws to protect people from this sort of treatment. You need expert advice quickly, if you are in a union that is the first step if not then find out where that free half our consultation from a solicitor is in your area, this is not an issue for well meaning friends or a case could fall on a technicality, you need expert help quick as before any tribunal will entertain you, you need to have gone through any company internal processes that you might not now of but will exist. Good luck |

All employers are legally oblidged to follow the grievience proceedure
To protect your right to proceed in to a tribunal you must first raise the grievience with the employer. Time limits apply and in your case it is 3 months
You have a case for unfair dismissal and you should take further advice for it. Try the ACAS website and find a contact number to speak to one of their advisers or contact your local CAB |

the fact is as i see it you are being made redundant but offered a new full time job, if you cant do the full time hours then your firm in my view must compensate you for the loss of your job, how much you get part time, i dont know, but you should get something.
just write your supperviser and the M-D of the firm a letter stating that your not happy with the way you have been treated |

Your best bet is to contact ACAS (google them) who will explain the whole thing to you, including letting you know how you take your employer to a tribunal.
However, it is correct that you will need to raise a grievance first. If you don't know how to do this, speak to your line manager or to your HR department. |

You still have a job you just don't like your new hours. The company needs your job to be full time, so it's going full time. You are free to look for another job that's part time. Your company doesn't owe you anything, they have provided you with a job for the last 4 years. You have not be dismissed and you have not been made redundant, you've been given a choice. If you choose to stay part time YOU (not your company) will be making you redundant. |

not sure-but you have been treated very badly ,dont think they are acting legally.Suggest you go to the citizens advice bureau for advice or your union if you belong to one-good luck and make sure you pursue any action ,they shouldn't get away with it |

What does your contract say? If it says something like 'your hours, place of work can be changed' etc, then that will make a difference. However, changes to your contract etc. can only happen after a period of consultation. Read your contract and see what it says. With reference to an employment tribunal in most cases you do have to have exhausted all internal processes before your case will be heard at an ET. The only exception to this is if your claim is based on race or gender. If I were you I would contact ACAS in the first instance or your union if you are a member. If not CAB are good. |

I don't know where you live so I can't be sure of all the legalities...
But it sounds to me as if they want you to increase your hours from 25 to 40. Your employer wants a full-time person in your position. They have every right to do that. The hours that no one is working your job is unproductive. They want to make it productive. You have a choice to make.
If you chose NOT to go to 40 hours, you certainly have the right to quit and you could be eligible for unemployment compensation because they changed the conditions of your employment. However you do not have any legal claims. They are perfectly within their rights. |
