DH has been laid off, where do we stand?

[loopylou6]

He has been with this company 2 weeks short of a year. He ahs been given 2 weeks notice. Doe he have any rights to a pay off or anything similar? I am fuming. Also he has a weeks holiday entitlement left, do they have to pay him a weeks wage for that or is it a case of 'tough luck u should of took it while you could'?

If he's been made redundant he has no entitlement to any redundancy pay this early in his employment, no.

If he has a week holiday left they must either let him take it during the 2 weeks notice or pay it him in lieu. Are they saying they won't?

Thanks FBB. Im not sure whats happening at the moment, we only found out a couple of hours ago, im just trying to get the facts straight and no what we are entitled too.

And sorry nto be dim, but what does 'in lieu' mean

In lieu means in place of, or instead of - so he must either be allowed to take his holiday or they must pay him instead of it with his final paycheck.

Ah i see, thank you very much FBB, very informative.
