• Made redundant last night

  Hi, I literally lost my job last night which is the second time this has happened in 4 months.

• Can post redundancy commission be counted as tax free redundancy pay?

  I was made redundant last year. My employer agreed to 3 months redundancy payment, and agreed to pay commission on a number of deals which would not have been due until later if I had remained with them.

• Redundancy pay

  Hi I have been employed part time for over 20 years and I have recently been told I am getting made redundant. Apparently I am only getting 12 years redundancy because I have been informed I didn't have a contract 20 years ago. Does this seem right or am I entitled to 20 years redundancy.

• Tax confusion
