I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me.
My dads boss has been losing queit a few of his contracts. And told him he will be starting some more jobs, in Jan. So far my dad has gone back one day, and the rest he has been at home. He said to him he will pay him out of his hoilday time??? And said Friday that he has 3 days hoilday left. And should have work in march Dads still got him company van etcc... but I was like Wtf he should be paying him even if he is sitting at home????
Told him to go CAB tomorro, and find out more. Been working for him for 19 years now

 

Sound like a way to get him to leave without having to pay him redundancie money.

Whenever we're quiet at work i still get paid. Even if theres nothing to do. But i'm not too sure on how it works regarding being sent home.

 

yea I think the bloke is taking the piss! Will find out what the CAB say tomorro I think

 

I'd say leave it to your dad as surely he's a big boy.

 

Should be on 3 day week poss use holidays for those 3 days or be made redundant. Prob is then need to find new job as won't get old job back. Iam a boss and can see both sides of coin beacause when no work I don't get paid but have to try and find money for 3 lads that work for me. We are sparks and it's tough out there at mo

 

i am in agreement, i have had to finish 4 lads in the last 4 months , you can only do so much when the work/money stops. Your dad can take a pay cut of be layed off .
Sign of the times , but if his employment is unbroken he will be entitled to redundancy i belive .

 

His boss says he should have work in March, so what he should wait until then with no pay?

 

It's for your dad and his boss to have a chat see of they can sort something out as he needs ta do something. Fookin government should help out with this as of your dad don't get new job they then pay out bennifit or could help out for few weeks. Trouble is beein a boss yes you make more money or you wouldn't take the shit and all extra hours doin paperwork and shit but after a bad your there ain't much in the pot then means to pay redundacy need to remorgage and then what was all the effort for
