Redundancy and Furlough
Hi Can anyone help please. My employer told me I would no longer be needed for work after 28 Feb 20 but said he would pay me 2 month's notice pay. 1 to be paid in March and the second at the end of April which was actually paid in May.

Formal change of hours before redundancy
If an employer formally changes the contracted hours prior to redundancy does this make a redundancy payout less if it comes to it in the future? (Consultation process started) Contracted hours are 48, been told these are changing to between 40 and 48. Does the variation affect any future redundancy payment? Hours are to…
