The statute book;

"The minimum notice to be given by an employer to terminate the contract of employment of his employee shall be—

(a) if the employee has been in the continuous service of his employer for less than two years, one week"

Thanks for replying,,what legalities are there for employees who have suffered this type of treatment.

Best advice is contact local citizens advice bureau, we generally have 2 evenings a month where you can get some free legal advice on employment issues.

Perhaps they were paid for the notice period?

ganger

No they weren't,1hours notice and they had to wait a week for their p45s and holiday pay

And guess what,another 15 were let go.No notice of any sort ,no p45s,holiday pay that was due.All these guys having been ringing his office looking for their paperwork and were told that when its ready it will be sent out.Absolute disgrace how workers are treated .
