Can somebody forward me this new info that's coming in , in January 2011 over new employment law .
Key facts:
entitled to redundancy after 12 months
new redundancy rates set £1000 for every year worked.

Been told everybody on the rigs has been paid off ( long holiday) they can have there jobs back in January on 11 month contracts .
 
Been around since god was a lad this, ring Oilc Aberdeen Jake Molloy will help you
 
Not just offshore, happening on the beach as well mate. Longterm bloke's beware ! Think we will all be lucky to get 2 years with a firm soon.

Hi Steve,

Never really heard any one else talking about this since you mentioned it in Birmingham, but did hear a couple of Cal-Mac boy's say they too were getting paid off just before they get their first years service in only to be taken back on come February. I might be a wee bit naive, but if you can't afford to give the men what they are due just move over and let someone else have a go, this has got to be the last act of an unscrupulous employer and a throw back to a bygone day when we were all just numbers. You don't need to grab every penny to be successful.

I believe that if an employee leaves/gets laid off/sacked/made reduntant and comes back onto the same firm, for whatever reason, within 12 weeks of leaving, then there is no break in service for the purposes of future redundancy or required notice period etc.

Maybe our friends at Morgan Law could clarify the situation?

...who I've just discovered are an insurance specialist!!

Anyway, I'm sure there is enough knowledge on this forum to give a qualified answer.
 
I hope you are right Phill, maybe that would put an end to this disgraceful practice.
 
Heard about this EU ruling even before we were in the EU, £1000 a year and all that, we wish guys, load of sh1t, do you not think the Unions would be banging on their drums stating " we got you this guys" one day guys maybe, however, dont hold your breath.

Well said AOM a man after my own heart , a firm can only ever be as good as the lads it has working for it.
I believe if your treat the lads right they will treat you right, but you gotta get rid of the piss takers quick as they can cause animosity amongst good lads
:D:D:D
 
Your right Phill, I train my own young lads to supplement the small core. The young boy's can come and go as it's the nature of the beast but I would like to think I can keep a grip of the more experienced. That way piss takers are weeded out right early doors.
 
Sad but probabnly true,aom has got it right.the employment laws in this backward country allow for this dispicable behaviour by greedy employers in the pursuit of greed.the excuse for this will be the current climate,yet these same employers in times of need ask the same employees for wage freezes,and unpayed overtime etcfor the sake of the business.the same companys who are exploring every loophole to bring in cheap untrained or qualified labour.
Its time for the great british worker to waken up
british jobs for british workers ---lets hope
