I work for my parents, no contract, £4620 live in.
On Tuesday evening Mum told me they didn't want me to work there any more, they were going to emply a seasonal person instead.
I didn't argue, but phoned a 24hr legal helpline who said they need to follow the due process to sack me, or negotiate redundancy and give notice.
I phoned Mum in the morning to confirm the situation. She said I don't work there anymore, I asked why? Was I redundant or sacked, she said neither, you just don't work here anymore, I said but that's illegal, you need to get advice, she said she wouldn't and I should sue them.
Then, on thursday, dad told my dh that I'd not been sacked, but made redundant and would be paid 2 1/2 weeks pay for my 2 1/2 years service.
Is this legal?
