Administrators

[totallyshafted]

I hope someone out there can help but I read on the Pie & Piston Forum from Ladyhales that:

Also just worth noting - if the Administrators do not provide you with formal notice of your redundancy within 14 days from the date of their appointment then they automatically adopt your employment contract!!!

Can anyone please confirm whether this is still the case as my company has gone into administration but I and a couple of colleagues have been retained...if they retain us past the 14 days and then dispense with our services do they have to pay us our contractual redundancy pay as opposed to the £350 capped paid by the RPO...as the end of the 14 days will be soon upon us...can anyone help???

After being involved with MFI, I think that the adoption of employment contract refers to holidays, company cars, etc.
Ultimately the business is being shut down so there will be no money to pay out in redundancy payments (enhanced or not).
