If your position is called part time but you were upgraded after 6 years of 20 hours per week to full time but have no letter proving this, after 6 years of full time are you entitled to redundancy?
Can the employer then give you an written six weeks warning job termination and this constitutes redundancy?
Your employer cannot give you less notice or termination pay simply because you are or used to be a part-time employee. While your employer can terminate your employment for redundancy, it must provide you with notice of termination or termination pay based on your length of service, age, and position. Given your 6 years of service, 6 weeks' termination pay is clearly insufficient. You are likely entitled to 6 months' termination pay, and potentially more.
