Statutory Payment For Each Year of Service

My salary is well in excess of the £350 limit and my car is provided as part of my salary but I am allowed to drive it for personal use. As you rightly point out though I do pay tax for this and it is classed as part of my income. If I've understood you correctly you are basically saying that the taxable income for the benefit of having the car should be added to my basic wage x 12 for the notice period if they do not allow me to keep the car for the 12 week period?

Because the car is part of your remuneration package, you should be compensated if you do not have that benefit in kind either during your notice period (if you were to be on garden leave) or as a lump sum if you are paid PILON. Check your contract to see whether PILON is mentioned and also whether mention is made of benefits in kind in a PILON situation.

(I wondered about your salary level because "company vehicle" could have been a liveried van provided to a delivery driver on a lower wage.)

By the way, a company cannot remove a position and rename it making you do the same work.

Keep an eye on the company when you leave, if someone ends up doing your job in the next six months SUE

I firmly believe the company are using this as the only legal option they have to get rid of me because of a personality clash with one of the Directors. My job is not at all redundant, they say they need to restructure to save costs. The company have just been through a bad period after losing a lot of money on a huge project and they only succeeded in staying in business by being propped up by the customer the project was for. I should point out that the reason for this huge loss was down to under estimating the costs of the project and poor management of it by the company and not in any way related directly to me. The alternative position they have offered me is exactly the same job as I'm doing now but without being a Manager. They say they want to merge 2 departments and all responsibilities for managing matters relating to my current department will be undertaken by other Managers & Directors. Not wishing to blow my own trumpet but no other Manager or Director at the company have the skills or experience to do the job I've been doing. The area of the business I am responsible for is specialised and no-one else in the company has any experience or real understanding of what I do. They are basically asking me to carry on doing the same role but they want to knock me down a little or they want me to leave. They have already said that if I turn down the alternative job offer they will have to try and recruit someone else.
