Self employment/Redundancy

[Bakedbeansandtoast]

Just wondering if anyone can help me. Been working for a small company doing admin remotely for seven years. They're now abruptly closing (not in administration, just choosing to close). I do a set amount of work each month for a set salary, it takes the same number of hours. However, as I was the only paid employee, I completed a self assessment every year as it was easier than doing payroll for one.

Any ideas what my rights are here? I'm afraid I've left myself wide open as didn't have a formal contract. Do I have any recourse to redundancy payment? I also have never had any holiday pay or pension payments but am presuming I don't have any right to that.

Thanks!

Did you work only for them? Did you have set times when you had to work?

It sounds suspiciously like you’ve been wrongly classified as self employed when you shouldn’t have been. You may have a right to things like holiday pay and NI contributions. In this scenario you would possibly be entitled to redundancy pay.

I think you need to contact ACAS for advice after the bank hol.

Thanks @BerryGrumble. That's v helpful. I will look up ACAS and contact them asap.
