How much redundancy pay am I entitled to?

Statutory redundancy pay is calculated by reference to age, length of service and weekly pay, subject to a statutory cap. Many contracts pay more than the statutory minimum.

Can I be made redundant while on maternity or sick leave?

Yes, but there are additional protections, particularly for employees on maternity, adoption or shared parental leave, who have priority for suitable alternative employment.

How long do I have to challenge a redundancy dismissal?

Three months less one day from the effective date of termination. ACAS Early Conciliation must be completed before an ET1 can be issued.
