Boss said no funds left for my job

[seaofyou]

I took career break. I asked for extension of 2 yrs my boss agreed had letter via HR it said I may have to go back lower scale 10K less, this is policy.

Phoned my boss today to say I will be back (3 months notice is stated but it's 4 months off returning so plenty of notice).

Boss said he was meaning to write to me 2 months ago to say as he had not heard from me, my position was no longer there. He thought he gave me 1 extra yr off only! I clarified 2 yrs as on letter. He said there was no more money left in budget!

I also asked for working term time only and he was
I have ds with ASD and no family/no childcare in all holidays.

He also asked was I fit to practice I said yes I checked with NMC and voluntary work counts. He said he will check it out.
Boss said for us to meet in 2 weeks. I am worried!

Any advice?

I don't think he can effectively sack you in your agreed absence, but I'm no expert. The fact he hasn't got any money isn't your concern.

Perhaps you could also ask in employment isses www.mumsnet.com/Talk/employment_issues

He can make you redundant.

oh no I am worried about redundency as under the 41 age bracket and as it goes by last 3 months wages I have not earned for nearly 5 yrs so will leave with £0! I work for NHS so thought their would have been room for me:(

The fact is that sadly, any post can be made redundant at any time if the work dries up/budget is cut.

Im sorry you're in this position - I would suggest talking to the HR team at your employers to get clarification.

Also, if the post has been declared redundant, there will be a consultation period, and a full policy and procedure to be followed, which a large organisation like the NHS will definitely have. From what you've said, this doesn't seem to have happened.

I agree - contact HR for clarification/
