    Hi I was made redundant last week. My employers came in and told me my position was being made redundant. I was a manager and even asked if there were staff positions in the store but they said there was none. They said there was a manager position which I could apply for like everyone else. However that was on the other side of the city and totally inconvenient so i just took the redundancy.

    However this morning I got a letter saying...
    'I refer to our recent discussions in respect of your application for redundancy, I wish to confirm that your request for voluntary redundancy has been accepted'.

    What is that about? I never asked to take redundancy they came with it out of the blue.

    I worried this may affect future employment or JSA

    It won't.

    By now, you should have gone to your local SW office to sign on, so you will know it won't affect JSB or JSA.

    As far as JSA/JSB is concerned, it won't make any difference if the redundancy was voluntary or not.

    Be aware, if you get a redundancy payment, you may have to wait some weeks to actually receive the first JSB payment. They'll be able to explain it all to you in the SW office.
