Redundancy Question, Need help please??

Question

If you are being made redundant should you be paid for the very first 2 years you have worked at your place of employment as well as being payed for the rest of the years you have worked there,

my step-dad is facing being made redundant next week and his boss says that he doesn't have to pay him for the first 2 years he has been there, my step dad has worked there for 5 years so his boss is saying he is only paying them starting from the third year he has worked there and he doesn't have to pay him for the first 2 years,

is this correct or should he be payed for the first 2 years too??

Answer 1

what country are you in ? suppose different countries have different rules. doesnt sound right to me and ive been through 3 of them. If you have been employed less than two years you are not entitled to redundancy but you should be paid at least the minimum for each yr of service

Answer 2

that doesn't sound right. go to Direct.gov website - it will give you all the details regarding legislation.

Answer 3

He should be paid for each year he has been there, including the first two, sounds like the boss is a tight t**t.
