But what if by putting every worker back on their pay
Bankrupts the Company
& it Closes down?

has the CEO taken a pay cut, maybe they should replace him with a cut price model?

That does not enter this deal


Leave him out of this

why should I, you said they were in trouble....he needs to take a massive pay cut like the workers

then it closes, too bad. It's just not acceptable for a company to say we are only viable if we employ slaves

Yes but they are about to Close Down


By changing to cheaper workers
they keep afloat.


Every Company that size
needs an active CEO.

That will be so sad.

The £45,000 was an average.

Presumably the ones that have been there for years will have got more than those who recently started ?

Redundancy is capped at 20 years I think

he can be active, but the needs to take the hit same as his workers ....if he wants to keep the company alfloat ...all hands on deck as they say

Well it's the reverse of a cap really... "plugged" I guess is a better word... companies can pay out as much as they want for redundancy but there are statutory minimums that they have to pay for each year served up to 20 years. They CAN continue to pay more for each year beyond 20 if they want, there's no rule saying they can't. Most obviously do max out at 20 years though (pay as little as possible in other words).

In Parliament now P&O.

Labour put in an Urgent question

They are still to get the measures in
before Thursday
as Parliament then goes on a break.

Fair enough but someone who only started last week isn’t going to get too much, surely

there is a statutory minimum of course, but the p&o line is that they basically exceeded all those minimums because they broke the law in doing what they did. I'm all for those axed workers taking p&o for everything they can get

Obviously there will be winners and losers but if I were a year or so out from my pension and I was offered 45K tax free to leave I would snap their hands off no doubt

There will be some staff who will not want to be forced back to work :laugh:

I’d be the same :)

I read some were offered 100k.
So has this practice been outlawed now or not. ..whats to stop it happening again?

What if?... how can this company coninue to take full payment for services knowing they have violated their own company guidelines?

What the CEO name

Time time to name and shame the CEO

765 out 786 have
started the process of redundancies

[The boss of P&O Ferries has hit back at government's calls
to reinstate the 800 workers it has sacked,
insisting, a U-turn would cause the firm's collapse.

CEO Peter Hebblethwaite said reversing the cuts,
which the firm did not consult unions on,
would lead to the loss of an additional 2,200 jobs.]

Now the P&O Ferry CEO
has written back to the Government
Saying he will not allow the old workers back.
Does the government want to destroy the company?

Sure but not in public

Sign of the times
