    Hi Boards,

    Approx 2 years ago, after redundancies the balance of staff in my company were asked whether we all wanted to work 3 day or face possible job losses. We decieded that 3 days was better than no days! Anyway, now after holding on, hoping things would improve I've decided that I cannot afford to stay any longer & plan on heading abroad.

    There has been no mention of voluntary redundancy but feel that I am entitled to it. Has anyone been in a similar situation & if so how have of broached it with your employers? I'be been working in this company for approx 6 yrs by the way.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Redundancy is compensation for the emoloyee when the job is no longer needed by the company, NOT a golden handshake to send you on your way when you resign.

    Yep...
    And to further cheer you up any future redundancy will be less as it will be based on your current salary... You would have got more had you left a few years ago...

    You cannot canvass for voluntary redundancy... your just quitting

    That's not necessarily true. If you constantly and formally petition your employer for restoration of extra days, any subsequent redundancy is based on 5 day salary. Odd, but true.
