Redundancy pay
An employee who has two years’ continuous service, is not in an excluded occupation, and who loses their job through redundancy, might be entitled to statutory redundancy pay. If a statutory redundancy payment has not been made or is not for the correct amount, the employee can apply to an employment tribunal. There is a strict three-month time limit from the date of termination for making such an application. A client in need of advice in this situation should be referred to an employment law adviser.
Some clients may be entitled to a larger redundancy payment under the terms of their contract.
