This new BAJR document may be of interest... it is not up on the site yet.. but you can read it here
http://www.bajr.org/Documents/Employed_SelfEmployed.pdf
One of the next things that I will join people in trying to deal with is employment laws and the misuse of them on archaeological sites.
If you were dismissed without being given the legal notice you are entitled to, then the dismissal date is counted as the day that your notice would have run out. So if, for example you were entitled to two weeks notice, and your employer told you that you are dismissed with immediate effect on 2 June, you need to add two weeks to that date to work out your actual length of employment. So in this example, your employment would be treated as ending on 16 June because you are entitled to two weeks notice.
The required legal minimum notice is:-
one week if you have been employed for at least one month but less than two years
two weeks if you have been employed for two years
three weeks for three years, and so on up to twelve weeks. After twelve years service, the statutory notice period is twelve weeks.
Another day another WSI?
