Re: Redundancy

It depends on the form of the original agreement. Did the employer arrnage for renewal of the agreement. It may be possible to argue that if you continued working after your original agreement expired then the conditions of that agreement continue, in which case you could claim for redundancy.

This however would need to be tested. You are advised to engage a lawyer to review the terms of your employment in order to answer this question.
