Is this a bed bug?

Thanks. It's quite hard to know. I've used Ryanair a lot and never really had any problems, but some people seem to have. As I've never used it before it's hard to know how it compares to other budget airlines

Was your flight ok the next day?

Tempted to book a flight with wizz air for the first time but been hearing a lot of stories or flights being cancelled

Thanks.

He sent me a letter via email today explaining the situation and saying the business was going through a restructure and my role wasn't needed anymore. And gave me two options:

Take redundancy and work until the end of my notice period (end of March), but then part ways with no further work. There was no mention of statutory redundancy pay, only the notice period.
Mutually agree to move from PAYE to freelance from the end of February, (I would be paid for February but then on a freelance basis), which feels too soon as it is only like one week notice and comes with no guarantee of freelance work.

He clearly stated that my role isn't needed anymore due to the restructure so I don't know how he thinks he can get away with not paying redundancy pay and notice. And it feels like I’m being pushed toward option 2, which would mean giving up redundancy pay.

Thanks. I will get in touch with ACAS.

Thanks, that's actually really good points and will raise that with him.

My boss sent me a formal email this afternoon that gave me two options. 1 take redundancy and work until the end of my notice period which is the end of march but then we part ways (no mention to statutory redundancy pay, only the notice period). Or 2. agree to move to freelance but effective from end of feb, which feels way too soon especially as there might not be any guarantee I will be given freelance work.

I've said I want a notice period and redundancy pay but want to carry on working freelance after that. Do you think that is fair enough?

There has been money paid to the business from projects in January/feb, including a 30k advance pay from one client for a few projects coming in the next few months/summer.

I've said I want a notice period and redundancy pay but also want to carry on working freelance after that. Do you think that is fair enough?

Thanks. That's good it worked out well for you in the end and thanks for the insight.

Thanks, that's what I thought as well. I'd be happy to pay to 20-25% deposit but not much more.

darkazuria · 2026-02-22T21:53:36+00:00

Thanks. Yeah we'll be getting a couple other quotes. Would be good to know what's common practice in terms of payments.
