Company gone into administration while im on maternity leave

MrMoo123

Wife is on maternity leave at the moment, was due to return to work in October.

We found out that from today (via another employee at the company) everyone has been told the company has gone into adminstration.

Wife has recieved no official letter or phone call from anyone to advise her that his has happened.

Apparently no one is being paid this month either, and any pay owing and redundancy pay is now being sorted out by the administrators (?)

So my questions are:

1. Is my wife still entitled to her statutory maternity pay?
2. Does she still get redundancy pay and/or money owed for holidays she hasn't taken?
3. If so to the above, how and when will this be paid?

Thanks in advance!

If the company are unable to pay reduncancy the government will pay the minimum but it will take time. They should also cover for unpaid holidays subject to ratification and lack of notice.
