I'm going to try to be as crystal in the information I give, without going into specifics, as I'm sure I'm not the only Mumsnetter in my workplace. I would very much appreciate and be extremely grateful for any practical assistance anyone can offer.
I'm currently on Maternity Leave and due to return to work in a few months, however, I've received a letter stating that I'm at risk of redundancy.
It was very short, stating the above and nothing more, really.
I've been offered no consultation, support etc.
I have subsequently found out from a friend (and reliable source) that the place I work(ed) has moved offices and haven't informed me, in fact nobody has been in touch since I went (in a professional capacity).
I've also discovered (from the same friend and NOT from my boss or colleagues) that they have been recruiting and were advertising at least one job very similar to mine. I've looked into this and it's exactly as I was told.
I have a very basic understanding of redundancy, my rights and my employer's responsibilities but just none of this seems right, or fair to me.
Are there any, more knowledgeable, MN's out there who are able to help me make some sense of this and where I stand legally?
TIA
