I also suggest speaking to ACAS, this is free, and they can be very helpful. |

What a shame Florence and disgusting treatment to just be told by letter without having a discussion about it, and without being told why they were the one to be selected. The employer is not doing him/her self any favours going about it like this. |

So Florence all in all it does seem like most of us agree it sounds unfair but needs looking into more. It will depend on the contract they have. If they're in a union hopefully they'll contact them immediately, if not seek professional advice. |

It is not legal to terminate employment without notice in the UK. Period. |

Things are totally different these days David, and you can't possibly compare employment law of fifty years ago with the present day. |

If their job has been amalgamated into three others, they could well be made redundant. |

No expert but it will depend on the wording of the contract I assume. |

I have a friend who has had an accident to their shoulder which means they have been signed off as deemed not fit to work. So far they have been off 2 weeks with a doctor's certificate. |
