For help with questions about voluntary and compulsory redundancy.

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. I instigated an ET1 in July because he didn't go through the correct process in making…
Told "new" role is not suitable alternative for me
Hello, everyone. This is my first time (although I've visited the site before). I need some advice or least objective opinions. Been working full-time and permanently for almost 3 1/2 years. I was told last week that my role is being deleted following a sudden restructure and therefore I'm at risk of being made redundant.…
Voluntary redundancy rejection
Hi all, I was recently offered a voluntary redundancy package which on my asking also included a quote to take early retirement.

Attachment of Earnings on Furloughed Pay and being made Redundant
I have been on the furlough scheme since March and and have recently discovered that from Nov 5th I will be made redundant.

Redundancy now company in administration advice
Good evening So I was made redundant on 16 th October after 28 years service. i hope this is correct i understand from here and Acas that I’d get my furloughed pay from 1st October to 16th. Then I’d be on 12 weeks notice pay (normal weekly wage value) plus unpaid holidays (which I’d only taken 1 and our entitlement is 20…
Redundancy pay querie.
I have an employment contract stating I work 45 hrs per week.(9hrs per day). Although I usually worked 44 hours (Fri early finish). is my employer obliged to calculate redundancy pay, holiday pay accrued and/or notice at either the 45hrs the contract states, or the 44 hrs actually worked?

Car Allowance as a non-benefit? and notice pay query
I have just been made redundant after 6 months of furlough and think my pay is wrong. I normally get a car allowance on top of my basic salary as I do a lot of site work.

National Insurance On Redundancy Payout
My employer is are currently going through a round of redundancies. According to their calculator I'd get about £48900 redundancy pay of which £18900 would be subject to tax/NI, plus about £11300 PILON, which is also subject to tax/NI. So £30200 is taxable/NI-able.

Health vs redundancy

Pensioner
I'm 68 drawing a state pension having continued to work until recent redundancy. Am I entitled to any support from the government due to loss of job because of Covid19?
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…
