Return from maternity and made redundant

[MattStretch]

My wife has just been made redundant after returning from maternity leave. She was full time for 7 years and gone back part time for 2 days. From what I have read she will only get redundancy pay based on part time!! Even though she has not had an amended contract of employment.

Is this correct? Can we fight it?

Check out this site quoted on a similar thread elsewhere. Basically it says full-time earnings should be used.
