Just been wondering, how can a company make a roll redundant in country A and re-employ in country B to support country A's infrastructure?

Surely there are some laws on this?? Or am I pi**ing in the wind (again)?

And, how binding is a verbal contract if witnesses are present?
ie. contract first 6 months, then converted to permanent employment status agreed, and process started but not finished - because of stock market conditions at the time, which are better now...

Just curious about this, I know I'm on a road to no-where with the above...

There is no employment law stating any reasons why a company cannot delegate roles to another country to support a local infrastructure.

This can be seen as a cost saving method of subcontracting.

Subcontracting status can be achieved when one party delegates an internal task to another party.

If this creates loss of job, then nothing can be done (employees view).

As for contract status. If a party agrees that a position will be 6 months contract THEN permanent status after the 6 months. Then no no matter whether the market changes etc etc, the agreed has to take place. BUT if the company does not follow this suit then it will be down to the contractor to take this up!! So, the contractor can actually go to employer and DEMAND permanent status as the original verbal contract acceptance was based on the 6 months then permanent.

Hope this helps.

btw - after they have given you permanent status they can then make you redundant within two years and you won't get bugger all anyway
