Unusual redundancy situation - advice needed

anonimowy

Hi,

I need some advice on redundancy procedures. I have handled a monthly notice on the 30th of March.

On 24th of April my company went insolvent. I was sent RP1 form for claiming money from the goverment fund.

My question is. Shall I claim the amount for the notice period under UNPAID WAGES or under COMPENSATION OF LOSS NOTICE?

Many thanks for any advice.

Am not 100% but would suggest it is compensation for the loss of notice? This is the phone number for the redundancy payments helpline, probably worth asking them

Under loss of notice.

There is a duty to mitigate during the notice period. As you handed in your notice in the previous month and only had around a week til it expired, your loss is that week. Not the full month. The purpose of notice is to enable the employer and employee to adapt to change and you had three weeks to prepare for that.

You don't have to mention the fact that you already handed in your resignation, but it might come to the fore later on.

You can also claim for any untaken holiday you are owed.
