We know this will be an incredibly distressing time and we want to assure members that Usdaw will do everything we can to support you.
We will continue to send out updates as this process continues, and you can check this section of the website for updates as soon as they are available.
Usdaw has spoken with the P&H administrators and received further updates on the process for members claiming statutory redundancy and other related payments. Members can commence a claim electronically on the
Government’s website.
You should have received a case number from the administrators to use on the Government website. The case number you will need to use depends on which part of the business you were employed in. For reference, they are below:
The wholesale side of the business (redundancies made on 28 November 2017)
Palmer & Harvey McLane Limited CN00054729
The vans side of the business (redundancies made on 8 December 2017)
P&H Direct Van Sales Limited CN00054971
P&H Sweetdirect Limited CN00054972
P&H Snacksdirect Limited CN00054973
All members who have been made redundant need to register through this website to commence their claim. As part of the claim, members will be asked to calculate their losses. It has been agreed with the Redundancy Payments Office that the administrators will utilise the information from Palmer and Harvey’s payroll system to calculate the claim. Members should continue to input as much information as possible through the website.
A number of members have been in touch with Usdaw regarding references for future jobs. The administrators have advised Usdaw that they will send written confirmation to all former employees detailing their employment history at P&H for reference purposes. This will be sent as soon as possible.
Furthermore, we have been advised of a number of support events taking place across the country. Details of the events can be found here.
See previous updates.
Support for Finding New Employment
We are receiving a number of offers of support from companies keen to take on Palmer and Harvey staff.
See the companies listed below for further information.
Usdaw is keen to make you aware of all job opportunities as quickly as possible, however this should not be taken as a recommendation or endorsement of the job by the Union.
Usdaw is able to offer information and support with CV writing and other job hunting skills. If you would like this support, please
contact your local Usdaw Office and ask to speak to your Lifelong Learning Project Co-ordinator.
