How much compensation will I receive if I make a successful unfair dismissal claim?

The general basis of your situation is that your 'original' contract and employment continues whilst you are on secondment. If your original role is at risk of redundancy, then you should be consulted about this. If the original role is redundant, then redeployment should be looked at. This may include staying in your current role permanently, but this could be dependent on the nature of the relationship between your original employer and the current 'host'. You may also be independently offered the role permanently with the 'host' if it is needed. The length of the secondment will not in itself be definitive here. A detailed consideration of the role/s, contracts and the nature of the relationships would need to be undertaken. For example, in some circumstances like this the transfer of employment regulations (TUPE) may have already taken effect so that your employment has already transferred to the 'host' company.If you are concerned, you could make enquiries with your ‘original’ employer to ascertain what they understand the situation to be and their intentions and possibilities going forward.

I would suggest reverting to the original agreement to see whether there are any provisions that govern how any changes to the agreed terms can be effective, whether they need to be in writing etc. Secondly, if you have agreed the changes, as long as they are in line with how variations take effect, they may be potentially legally binding between you both. A grey area as to whether the variation has taken effect is due to your sugggestion that you were effectively made to enter into the alternative agreement on the basis of a misrepresentation that you could not be paid. This could well render the variation void in which case there may a breach of the agreement in respect of the notice obligation. The course of actioin would be a claim for breach of contract.
