This one is about a friend of a friend...
60 year old man has been working for a local charity for donkeys years as an employee.
Six months ago he asked to go part time and they accepted but insisted that he sign a new contract - everything else it the same.
When 6 months were up, they made him redundant but refused redundancy payments because he only had the job 6 months and also claim that he can be sacked without compensation save 1 weeks notice because he has worked for them under this contract for under 2 years.
This sounds totally unfair. I think he should talk to ACAS? Any other thoughts?
