Does anyone know redundancy/employment rights/laws?

Well, had the meeting today, but frustratingly the HR manager that was meant to have been there, wasn't well so couldn't make it. The director that was there didn't seem to know the exact answers to some of our questions which didn't help, but we found out that there are not any vacancies that we could fill and he thinks out longer periods of service with the company will be honoured. We kind of guessed that they would not be any possible positions and just hope that is correct about the longer periods of service being honoured. That would also mean they will have to pay us 12 weeks period of notice, rather than 3 weeks.

Hope I find another job sooner than later, as then I'd be able to see Viva sooner and plan our future easier.

I seem to recall that's what I got. Its a maximum of 12 weeks, isnt it?

Yup, it's a maximum of 12 weeks after 12 years working.
