Long story short: New company take over, I was offered the options of redundancy or stay for less hours, less pay and more work so I took the redundancy and was accepted.
Well I requested my end date, pay package date and my police check which I will need to look for further employment as I worked with at risk people. They have provided none of this in the meantime so I feel like I’m in limbo and unable to move on. Which is ironic since they rushed me to make a decision.
Going on 4 weeks later I haven’t received any update since and am still rostered to work my regular shifts. I have already asked for a follow up but rather not be a pain and keep asking as the last time I was essentially told “we’ll get back to you asap”
So in spite of this, I’ve taken it upon myself to use up my sick leave I’ve accumulated over the years until they give me my last day as these hours will not be included in the pay package (I saved up quite a bit) Will this effect anything going forward legally? I have provided a medical certificate each week I’ve taken off (Only work a few days a week)
To me, it is my right to use the sick leave I’ve earned as I’ve provided the appropriate documents everytime, although friends and family have me second guessing like this would effect my redundancy somehow. Would love other peoples input. Thanks!
