This is my first post so apols if I make a mistake.
I work for a time limited project that is making all staff redundant between now and Mar 2011. I am scheduled to be made redundant in September and just found out I am pg - due also in September. I have read loads of stuff on the internet that if they make me redundant after qual week/during mat leave I am entitled to notice pay as well as redundancy payment. I have three months notice in contract. I may be being thick here, but does this mean I get paid in full for the three months notice period even if I am on mat leave? This is obviously much better than six weeks at 90%, then SMP rate. It says that obviously employer can offset the SMP against what they are paying me. But effectively all being well, I could leave at earliest opportunity and then be paid until my end date. Sounds too good to be true? Added complication is that the company won't exist after March 2011 so no alternative job can be offered. Help!
I'm going to "bump" this for you. As I'm sure you'd like some help here and I'm not an expert at all.
Hope some nice Mums netter comes along soon to help.
Goodluck x
