Could Be Leaving Halfords Soon
As halfords have had this new idea about how they want the store ran they are changing job roles for people and some people are being made redundent if we dont like our new job role we can leave or they will sack us so they dont have to pay us a redundency package. So ive started looking for a new job well been looking for a while and every time i think long and hard i always come back to what ive done before and that is the army so on monday im going to sign back up but stuck on 2 job roles infantry or armored core

For a second there I was guessing the female staff were too young for you!
I digress..... That doesn't sound right to me, they cannot sack you for an enforced job role change. If your role has become redundant then they can offer you an alternative position, if you don't accept it then you can take redundancy. Do you have a contract of employment? Better still do you want to stay? |
Hi Simon, dont think they can do that, depends on how long you have been there and your contract of employment.
Think it would be Unfair Dismissal, or Constructive Dismissal, anyhow if you have been with them over two years you have rights, that they can not just change, without compensation. Think your brave to sign back up, as you know where you will most likely end up, think I would go the Tank route, least you have some heavy metal round you. Best of luck with the next move. :mml::mml::mml::wave: |
im coming up to 3 years in halfords they havnt tried this yet on a store but its happenig at every store now and 3 of my mates from diffrent stores have been made redundent or go onto a lower pay as im already on the lowest pay and my area that i work on is quiet im more than likely be made redundent im not really fussed tho as this is the time to sort my life out as im not going very far in life at the mo but they are forcing the job role on to those who stay and if you dont like your job role then you can quit or they will just find away to sack you this is clever that way they wont have to pay you a redundency package that way but all speacalists in the area have been made redundent

Redundancy works out at a weeks pay for every complete year of service, plus any unused holiday pay, they have to give you 3 weeks notice, they can pay in lieu of notice, or make you work it.
You can take time off to look for a new job during the notice period. Most likely find they will keep you on as you have the experience. Hope you get it sorted. :wave::wave::wave::wave: |

Simon as you have pointed out, you are not going to get very far in life working at Halfords and by the sound of things you aren't exactly in management. |

Yep looks like its all changed. :wizard::wizard: |
[QUOTE=R8NMG;139976]This is indeed what my company is doing but it is a 6 weeks notice.
It is age related, with more the older you get, there is also a ceiling on the weekly pay, so if you get £500 a week its capped at £380, but I think the company can pay what they want. :smile2::smile2::smile2: |
you are by far better off in the army in the long run than in halfords mate. sucks about your job situation but hope it all works out for you :)
