EAT CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT – Incorporation into contract
Redundancy policy containing provision for enhanced redundancy payments – formally agreed with works Advisory Council – promise added to Employee Handbook to implement redundancy policy in the event of redundancies – subsequent promises to do so in correspondence.
