Redundancy issues are complex and you should seek professional help. At Tribunal consult we have professional advisors that can explain your rights and look at your financial options. We can also give constructive advice on how to negotiate with your employer. Whatever you do don’t make a rushed decision; a quick fix is not always the best solution. You need to carefully weigh up all of your options as this way you'll make the best and most informed decision at this critical time.
Redundancies could be being considered for one of three reasons.
- The business is reducing or disappearing
- The workplace and the facilities are reducing or disappearing
- The job is no longer required within the business.
You can calculate the number of weeks redundancy pay you are entitled to by using the figures below:
0.5 week's pay for each full year of service where age during year less than 22
1.0 week's pay for each full year of service where age during year is 22 or above, but less than 41
1.5 weeks' pay for each full year of service where age during year is 41+
If as an employee your total years of service bridge across two bands, the figures in each band should be added together.
Some of the claims we can advise on are:
