Q: My company wishes to give me alternate employment instead of paying me redundancy pay, but I feel that I am not qualified to handle the new role. What should I do?
A: You may have a potential claim against your employer which you can take to an employment tribunal, as the new role you have been given is unsuitable.
My employer gave me one month’s notice to improve my performance at work when the contract stated that I should at least have three months. I was then pressured by my employer to get better figures or else I would lose my job so I raised a grievance against him and now I fear he wants to fire me because of it. What are my rights?

My employer wrote last year to say they were no longer going to honour this. I wrote to complain and provided the paperwork. They then responded saying that they did not have sight of this so they would pay, but recently I received another letter stating that they cannot sustain payment. I have written back to challenge them as this is a matter of contractual entitlement. I gave my employer a final opportunity to resolve this but there was no response received. What do I do now?
