the goverment should pay you a week plus a week for every year you've been there.
You will have to wait for the rest as my other half got made redundant 2 years ago and we haven't seen any of it!

Yes. You can check as I did recently through (UK) Citizens Advice Bureau and local jobcentre or via web. If you have been employed for two years running from start of tax year (5th April) with the same company then you have a guaranteed payout unless there is a stipulation or variation in your contract. If you don't have a contract it may be more difficult. Best to try CAB or type 'redundancy' into search. Loads of info inc. solicitors, help sites etc. Good luck.

You should get a week for each year after two years service this is minimum some companies will pay more voluntary.So as you have worked 21/2 years you should get 21/2 weeks pay. Unless they offer you a better package.

You should qualify for a redundancy money after two years as some already said but you need to check your employment contract as you may also be able to get a month in liue of notice on top of your redundancy money. Best thing go to your union if you belong to one. if not go to citizen advice bureau. good luck.

Employees qualify for redundancy payments if they have worked for you continuously for at least two years up to the date of dismissal. Any time they worked for you before they reached the age of 18 does not count.
Also goto http://www.dti.gov.uk/cgi-bin/er_reconner.pl and it shall help you with how much you are entitled to

As stated above It's a pitiful amount in the UK, and it's the reason why Companies find it so easy to lay off British staff rather than say French staff - it would cost them many times more!

it is a months wage for ever year you have worked there plus any holidays that you are owed and some company's throw in a bonus just to be kind

I think minimum is a weeks pay for each year worked... although most good companies should pay a months pay for each year..

You'd rather be focused on the next job. After few days you will forget about this issue !

One weeks wage for each year worked.
