I was terminated couple days ago, by virtue of 'Redundancy' and need some advice if this is a wrongful termination.
Experience in the company is one year
Some background info:
For the past 6 month the relationship between me and my manager soured.
Which lead to a lot a mental harassment,including verbal assaults like ' you are useless', 'you are good for nothing' over the course of the last 3-4 months.
A month ago I was called for a meeting with HR and was told my position is at risk. And 2 weeks later told that I was being made redundant and now I am out of the company premises on 'displacement leave' for the next 3 months. Informally my manager told me that 'We had to take this step because of your performance' and if I was given a bad rating it would lead to a 'PIP' performance improvement plan (this conversation is off the record). So basically they he got rid of me by saying my position has become redundant, instead of a PIP where he would not be able to prove bad performance (my appraisal rating was 'good')
Some questions:
Is this kind of termination legal, can I contest it, if so how ?
Under which law is this scenario governed ?
Are there any employee 'cells' / trade unions/organizations that could help me out ?
Thanks
