made redundant when i am on maternity leave

mmmkbb

just got a news today that i have been made redundant due to company close down. the thing is i am still on my 30 weeks of maternity, and i have only been employed for one and a half year, does anybody know will i still get redundancy pay?

really worry now as i got a baby to feed, mortgage to pay, bills to pay

shoulda take out a PPI when the other site was close down before then

Have they gone through "consultation" with you? Though if the company is actually closing completely there is little point.

If you are dismissed before two years of employment have been achieved then you will not qualify for redundancy pay, just notice pay.

There's a benefits calculator here - http://www.entitledto.co.uk/

No entitlement to redundancy pay.

My wife was made redundant in the same circumstances as yours. She was with the company for 19 months. She didn't get redundancy pay. The company didn't close, but they were cutting down stuff number and my wife was in maternity leave and was the first to go redundant.:(
