Redundancy and PILON

[DoubleByte]

Hi another redundancy question

A friend is part of an office that is closing and 'all' the roles are being made redundant in that office. However despite everyone being told they would get PILON, one person is being told he has to work his notice - 3 months. So instead of leaving at the same time as everyone else with an additional 3 months pay he has to stick it out. The thing is if the roles are redundant because the office is closing then he will have nowhere to work. Current suggestion from employer is that he works in a 'satellite' office - there aren't any so they would have to get somewhere temporary nearby.

Is this allowed? I assume it's normal practice in some way to screw people at this time but having been told everyone would get PILON then go back on it just for one doesn't seem right.

thanks

OK, I believe it names a normal place of work (the office that is closing) with a clause about temporarily working at other places - which is meant to mean customer sites.

Thank you for taking the time to lay that out so clearly breadvan
I will pass it on, even though it looks a bit bleak for him.
