Is this a homework assignment?
I'm pretty sure there is no probation period specified in law. There is the 12 month period where unfair dismissals legislation does not apply, but that's not the same thing.AFAIR, the "probation period" is actually 12 months by law, irrespective of what your contract says.
AFAIR, the "probation period" is actually 12 months by law, irrespective of what your contract says. Does the notice period of 6 months also apply during the probation period? You'd need to check the contract for that. Anyway, if it does, then he should look for six months pay should they make him redundant. And also try to get at least a percentage of the guaranteed bonus based on how long he was working with the company.
Unless John has been employed by the company for 2 years he has no rights in relation to a redundancy package.
I would be intrigued to hear some views on the following situation.
John commences employment in Feb 08 having being poached from his previous employer by his current employer. John enters contract with new employer, which is subject to the company standard probationary period of 6 months. Economic cycle takes it toll & work which John was originally brought into to specialise in is not as plentiful. In accordance with company rationalisation, John’s position is highlighted and he is ‘advised’ to look for alternative work. Nothing in writing produced merely internal meetings, which occurred within the probationary period. What is John’s position……………..:
In addition to the above it should be noted that John had a guaranteed year 1 bonus provided for within his contract which would not be payable until March 09.
- From a notice point of view (standard notice in contract is 6 months by both sides) ?
- From an entitlement point of view ?
