        I think you mean employer, or were you a disguised contractor?

          Why are people telling the OP to move on?

          Cntxy81, you need to get legal advice as you have rights here.

          It sounds like the employer are trying it on by saying that you resigned 3 months previous and are giving you 3 months pay as a redundancy in the hope that you'll accept that as tax free whereas the 3 months pay in lieu would be taxable.

          From what you've said (though we're only hearing one side of things) its very likely they've broken all sorts of redundancy rules here (eg, verbal and written warnings, redundancy pay as well as notice period pay, following due process) but the actual rules will depend whether they're claiming a level of misconduct.

          Did you get in writing their reason for dismissal?

            Wondering why the OP hasn't responded, I suspect he'd post elsewhere too.

            A single google search tells me he wasn't happy with the answers he got and went elsewhere. I might post over there on their thoughts on IR35.

              I would assume if they've posted on mumsnet then it's a she. Either that or they have bigger cojones than me as I wouldn't dare.

              Shame they didn't come back. Looking at the term sales targets I am assuming this isn't a highly skilled role so if it's the energy sales type people they hire and fire regularly with little regard for the law which is why they think they can get away with it.
              If I'm anywhere close the the fact the OP has disputed the targets will be why they've gone. Not pleasant environments to work in those sales roles.

              Anyway, plenty of internet hugs will be given over there so guess this thread is done.

                Thanks. I do search to check for cross posting, but I guess we're first in alphabetical order. Poster banned.
