Hi - I am a regular but have name-changed to avoid company involved being recognised.
It is looking increasingly likely my DH is going to be made redundnant. He works as a IT manager for a medium sized firm that is going through very difficult times which is obvious to all (despite directors not saying anything to staff!!) He is the only IT person in the company.
We have accepted the situation and have covered ourselves as best we can. As he hasn't worked there for 2 years yet, we understand he won't be entitled to a thing - except a notice period of a month. What concerns me, is that my understanding of redundancy is that it is the post that is found to be redundant, not the person. But no company can function without IT, So if (more likely when) it happens, will the company involved legally be able to employ outside IT support despite the post of IT manager being made redundant?
Can they make him go immediately without working his notice?
TIA
