Redundancy rules?

Question

I know that myself and 2 other colleagues are due to be made redundant tomorrow. He has not made us aware of the redundancies, however he isnt the most intelligent and we found a letter in his notes saying this. We are in the UK and have been in our positions for less than 2 years. What money are we due? Does our employer need to give us a notice period? thanks

Answer 1

As you have been employed for less than two years you are not entitled to redundancy pay. The amount of notice you receive will go on the contract that you signed at the beginning. You may have a months notice or even one week. The employer can ask you to leave before the notice date and they would have to pay you in lieu including any holiday pay that you are entitled to. Everybody is entitled to 1.33 days holidays per month if you are in full time employment.

Answer 2

The UK rules is that if you are employed for less than 2 years then the company DOES NOT have to give you notice and any redundancy pay - they will only have to pay what is due to you in terms of salary and leave accumulated. After two years employment you are then given the minimum statutory payment required by the government - i.s: 1 week per year worked. This can increase but depends on your age.

Look at the site below - it also advises what procedures your boss has to follow - so as not to create a situation where you are classed as "unfair Dismissal"

Answer 3

There are no rules.

I have been made redundant twice - the first time the manager called me into her office at the start of the day and she told me that there was no more work and when I went home that evening a cheque for the hours I had worked since the last pay day would be waiting for me. She wrote me a couple of nice references. I had been there just under 2 years (6 weeks short)

The second time I was told there was no more work, handed a cheque and to be off the premises in 15 minutes. I had been there just 4 months.

Answer 4

I would check out the ACAS website as it used to be a period of 2 years working in order to qualify for redundancy but I understood that it had now been reduced to 1 year of working. You should get the necessary period of notice that your term of employment gives you (or payment in lieu of notice) and your employer should give you (reasonable) time off, paid, to look for another job. Your final pay should include all wages due, any holiday pay due and redundancy pay.

Just checked the ACAS/DTI website and since 1 October 2006 and qualifying period of work is one year.

Answer 5

the united kingdom regulations is at the same time as you're employed for below 2 years then the corporation does no longer would want to grant you word and any redundancy pay - they are going to if truth be told would want to pay what's through utilising you in words of gross sales and bypass away amassed. After 2 years employment you're then given the minimum statutory value required through utilising the authorities - i.s: a million week in line with 12 months worked. this may strengthen yet relies upon on your age. look on the area lower than - it also advises what concepts your boss has to stay with - as a thanks to no longer create an project the position you're classed as "unfair Dismissal"

Answer 6

ASK - Citizens Advice / Your Union / HR Department of your company

Ask for access to the Employment Rights Act 1996 section 139 [ 1 ] and you will find the calculation is in section 162

Answer 7

You have to have been with the company for more than three years to be entitled to any redundancy payment. Sorry.

Answer 8

I think Stat redundancy is one months notice plus a payment of one month for every year served. Not 100% sure tho.

Answer 9

I think the answer above is too generous.

I think the statutory requirements are £250 per year and your normal notice period.

Best of luck to you, the UK unemployment levels are quire low so i hope you get something soon.
