    Redundancy Question?

    Thank you Hoot, I'll give it a go! It would appear that I have to wait another year before sadly laying her off. Don’t know how I came up with the ‘Enhanced’ redundancy package of 30K but it appears this is also the max allowed tax free for redundancy. Not planning on breaking any rules or...

    Redundancy Question?

    Thanks for that Simon, reckon they could help, I mean redundancy can be a difficult for some and I can't see the misses taking it too well, but hey hoy think of the money!

    Redundancy Question?

    Yeah it is an 'enhanced' redundancy package, but guess I’ll have to wait another year before sadly letting her go. Would like to consider a compromise agreement but my misses does not compromise.

    Redundancy Question?

    Yeah – it is her position being made redundant, she initially took it badly, but hey it happens, she’ll get over it and I’ll have to do the job myself, cost cutting an all that.

    Redundancy Question?

    Coughs & Colds

    FFS – the coughing and splutter is bad enough but skin is peeling off this one next to me – he just put it in the bin without even leaving his keyboard. Another one has just been resuscitated by his colleague, again without leaving his keyboard. If I manage to leave here today without a...

    Coughs & Colds

    It’s like the contractors in this part of the office need to have advanced SARS with a touch of the Bird Flu before they decide not to come into the office and spread the lovely infections to every other contractor FFS.

    Ltd Vs Umbrella take home monies

    Contreras – Thanks for confirming my figures and yes, agreed, at the moment I am very much letting the tax tail wag the company dog as this is a novelty after paying top rate tax for years. I more than likely will calm down on this front after a year, but as it is I am in a fortunate position...
