Subject: RE: BS: Losing out on interview for my own job
Here in the US we can collect unemployment if we lose a job through no fault of our own. It is a pittance compared to a salary but it keeps the wolves from the door.
Anything like it available in the UK?
IIRC benefit should be available for 6 months automatically and subject to conditions after that.
The employer is also obliged to give a lump sum payment dependent on length of service.
