Hi,
I have been made recently redundant and only paid two weeks noticed with an additional 4 days.
My question is two fold.
Firstly "Company A" the umbrella company has not paid a redundancy due to having only 5 staff so I think have classified themselves as a small business with <15 staff members and not required to pay a redundancy however they have three other associated entities which is what I think they are as my manager directs the managers of Company B, C and D which altogether have >15 staff.
As well as part of my last six months of work I have had 4 shifts a month in company B without being paid by Company B but still being paid by Company A.
Also in my termination meeting my manager brought in a balance sheet of Company B to show me the losses it is making and having to make contributions to sustain it.
My question is am I correct in assuming Company B, C and D are associated entities?
My next question is I started salaried employment in Company C in 2014 and then moved to Company A in 2016 should my redundancy be counted from 2014 or 2016 as I was also doing parts of my final role in 2014 due to Company A not having the budget at the time to have my role full-time?
Thanks for any help in advance in clarifying my position as I don't want to go to my previous employers with the wrong information.
