Redundancy

[Danidl]

I would advise caution here, I'm not at all sure what you suggest is legal without at least advising those present of the recording

If push came to shove it is likely it would be inadmissible evidence in tribunal or court

It's complex and not cut n dry. Here is starting point for research

If I were the person being called into a such a meeting, I would ,if I suspected an ambush, go in with a recording device operational. There would be no reason to publise that fact and if all the treatment was fair ,it would never see the light of day. I would not volunteer the information that i was recording, but likewise if i was asked the direct question "are you recording " I would answer yes.

If on the other hand the official side tells untruths and puts them in their official memo of the meeting.it would be valuable to have a record. An official side will have more credibility than the individual because it is recognised that the risk and cost to the official side of lieing will be much more than the risk to the individual.

My son was made redundant following lots of 'shenanigans' with responsibilities taken off him and given to other workers. His wife is a solicitor specialising in employment law - needless to say he got a good payout after threatening to take them to court! He now has a good job with HMRC!

I think the EU may be looking for him for unpaid duties...

It be nice if he could deal with his former employer's tax account.

Any compromise agreement isnt valid unless you have had legal advice. Most companies will allow you £150 for this.
I believe the first £30k is tax free the rest is taxed as income usually at 40%
