Employment Law Free Advice?
|
Hi all,
I've been made redundant less then a month after the end of my probationary period, without any formal or informal justification, except that the IT market has changed. I know it changes fast, but I did not know it was that fast!
As a coincidence, the IT market changed out of the blue after a new director came in. And I'm guessing there is something related to origin discrimination, because the "market has changed" for two more foreigners consultants as well, all EU citizens though.
I work in London. Does anybody know where could I have some legal advice before hiring a solicitor?
Thank you all.
Cheers!

The Citizens Advice Bureau has some excellent advice at http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/life/employment.htm . In your case it depends entirely on how long you worked for your company. If you were only just out of your probationary period, you may find that your options are restricted.

Acas can help but I do not think you have a case. My son works in IT in London and has just been put on a 4 day week. The market has changed, the clients are pulling back and not entering new IT contracts. The contract he has been working on for the past 6 months has been shelved.
So personally it's not just you, no matter what origin you are, you were the new boy and they cannot afford to keep you.

acas..... but unless you can prove you are one of the only three that have been selected and treated differently from others , then you may find it very expensive to take any further and due to the length of time you were actually employed by them you could end up paying out more than you could ever hope to achieve in an employment tribunal

The almost exact same thing has happened to me recently, and I sought advice by going to the Citizens advice bureau, and seeing an employment law specialist.
Guess what.
If you haven't been working there for one year or more, you have no rights whatsoever. None. Zilch. Squat. <1yr=0
Sorry.
I'm in the same boat.
It sucks.
