It sounds as though the Department has been very active on the issue. I wonder if Indeed has been active, however. This matter affects a number of people in my constituency.

The text or bumf from the company states that it will offer individual consultations to staff facing redundancy and meaningful engagement but the reports I have heard are that this has not happened, or certainly not in the way the staff require. They have come to me with questions regarding the rounding down, rather than rounding up, of years of service. I have been contacted by people who might have nearly four, five or six years of service but those years are being rounded down. They are seeking further assurances with regard to healthcare and dental. They are looking for longer vested periods in terms of their shares, as well as scaled statutory payments, rather than a flat rate, for years of service. The Department seems to be very active but is there oversight of the company with regard to whether it is doing what it says on the tin?
