Hi, my name is Kelmot75! Is it better to accept redundancy or finish work on medical reasonings?

Kelmot75

I work in customer service as a cashier on a seated,belted till.

My manager told us all they need to loose hours and my till will no longer need someone sat at it all the time, so my job is going also another lady is also disabled works the days shifts that I dont work so I was wondering due to my boss saying they will either finish us under "the needs of the buisness" or we will be made redundant with small payment or be finished on medical reasonings ! What does all that mean what one should I go for?

Also the rest of the team won't get away scott free they either have to drop hours , give more availability. And once we are gone they will have to jump on and off their jobs to serve customers

Thank you for reading. hopeful for some clarity x

Hi @Kelmot75, welcome to the community.

How long have you been working at your job? If it's more than two years you may be entitled to redundancy pay:

Redundancy: your rights: Statutory redundancy pay - GOV.UK

Could you ask your boss what the terms would be for each option and what you could expect from each?

If you're not sure on your rights you could try contacting ACAS, they can often be very helpful for work-related things:

Hope you can get some clarity soon.
