Garden leave?

tuppenybit

Hi all :j My husband has been on 'garden leave' since a week before christmas. The 'Garden leave' is up on the 5th of feb. If he is made redundant and it looks like he will be, how much will he be able to get from signing on? I have one child of 11? thanks

Hiya
Sorry to hear about your position . . .I will be in a similar position around May this year so have started my research now . Its very confusing as its hard to get the info you want . . .anyhow have been looking around collating info and for benefits found the following - its a gov site
You put in your details and it gives out a printable screen of what you can claim for including online application forms
https://www.dwpe-services.direct.gov...e%26pageno%3D1

there is also other info I'm still looking into about grants and other things that may help. Will keep folk informed as and when I've sifted through it.
I think the main thing is to become fully informed and not to panic.

Good luck

OH yep the site sometimes comes up in WELSH so change to English if you aint welsh

can i be daft and ask what garden leave is please

Garden leave is where you are generally paid,generally for a set time period,until the company,actually finishes with you.There is generally a legal agreement setting this out and the terms,to be signed by you and the company ,while on garden leave.
On that finish date,you are then unemployed,and receive no more money from the company,apart from a redundancy package( if at all).
I have been told that if you get another job in the period,it could affect your final monies .
