Resolved Question

Hubby being made redundant after 10 years service?

he's over 50 so i have worked out his redundancy payment but i'm confused over his notice period and payment in lieu of notice. consultation is due to start but company are really vague and are causing other probs. is he entitled to his redundancy payment and 10 weeks pay in lieu of notice after the consultation finishes and they give him written notice of being made redundant or does that time begin from the time he was first written to stating he could be made redundant!!is he entitled to any payment in lieu of notice ( the company are moving operations at the of the month) . I'm confused

Yes = Notice starts when he receives a letter saying his job is Redundant (often this is called the Notice of Redundancy letter :-) ) = this can only be issued after the statutory consultation period.

See link (especially 2nd one which explains the process better)


Note that the 'Government Redundancy' calculations are the legal MINIMUM .. almost every company pays at least twice the legal minimum (with no 'cap' on weekly wage)

Note also that he is only entitled to 'money in-lieu' if the Company decides they want him to leave intermediately after the Notice of Redundancy (some Companies choose to put you on 'gardening leave' and some are so mean that they insist you work your notice ...)

Whilst on notice you continue to benefit from every aspect of your remuneration package .. including Pension payments, private health, Co. car etc - and that includes 'earning' holiday entitlement .. so when negotiating money-in-lieu he should make sure he asks for sufficient to cover any non-salary benefits he will be giving up by taking an early termination date
