OK the basics are I am on maternity leave, officialy ends 21 sept 08. I handed in a letter stating my intention not to return to work at end of leave. I did not need to do this yet, however I felt it fair and right to give employer as much time as possible to find replacement for my position. 4 Days later line manager calls to inform me my position throughout the company has been made reduntant! I ask if I would be entitled to a redundancy package as I have given letter of intentions (I think probably not but worth a try!) manager tells me to call hr dept, hr dept tell me YES I am entitled to package speak to manager to arrange. Call back Manager he apeaks to area manager and calls back (on voicemail)"yes you are entitled to money, waiting on pack to complete fromal paperwork etc, will call you when it arrives to arrange meeting" recieve call from manager today (off the record) he has heard that head of HR is going to get in touch, has been decided I am NOT entitled to redundancy as they cant make me reduntant while on maternity leave, as I have in effect handed in notice wont offer me redundancy at end of maternity leave...in other words 4K was just dangled under my nose and snatched away! HELP! any advice, do I have a leg to stand on???? PS have name changed for this as I am worried a couple of people might know me!!!
