Advice wanted regarding contract termination in Tenerife
Here goes - this time it's me that needs advice. I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
I used to work 'autonomo' for a company and was then put on a 40 hour temporary contract at the start of November last year. This contract was for 6 months.
After 3 months (on 2nd February) it was extended for 6 months (until 1st August)
The owner of the business came to see me on 11th April and informed me that he was closing the office where I work on 30th April. To date I have not received written confirmation of this, despite asking for it. I was offered work in one of the other offices or to work from home, but on an autonomo basis again.
Anyway ... (on a totally different issue) I needed to provide a company with an up-to-date vida laboral. I ordered this on line and have just been to the post and it was there waiting for me. (when I say 'just', that's actaully an exaggeration because it's taken me 2 hours to start to calm down).
The owner did a 'baja' on my social security on 12th April!!! Presumably this will be the date that he intends to pay me until.
I need to go and see an employment lawyer so the first question - let's have a collective brain-storming session on this:
On Monday, do I go into work as usual (I'm expected) and go to see a lawyer on Wednesday. Or do I go to the lawyer first thing Monday morning and phone the office to say that I'll be late in?
2nd question:
I haven't been officially notified of the termination of my contract and understand that I'm supposed to be given one months notice. Can he terminate it without giving me notice?
Am I entitled to be paid until Monday 30th - which is when I will work up to, ie the original contract ended on 1st May, or until 1st August when it was extended up to?
As I was on temporary contract, I assume that I won't be entitled to paro?
I know that a lot of this will be answered by a lawyer, but if I can at least get some opinions, it will help me formulate a plan.

He HAS to give you a month's notice. If not, he must continue your contract or pay you off the month.
For example, if it was the case of a 9 month contract becoming an indefinido, the contract would automatically become an indefinido unless he gives you a months notice and then you could sue for the indefinido pay-off, should he want to terminate the contract...

My understanding is that you must be given 1 months notice or paid off, also remember that in employment law here, I understand is very much in favour of the worker not the company, hence having a work contract is regarded as not always the norm, although the law. I am sure you will feel better tomorrow after seeing your lawyer, good luck anyway.
