    From ACAS website......If you are being made redundant you are entitled to take reasonable time off with pay (but no more than 2/5ths of a week's pay in total, regardless of the length of time off allowed) to look for another job, or to arrange training for future employment. You must have at least two years' continuous service. You can take the time off within working hours while under notice.

    Decent companies allow more than this stat maximum if you cooperate during notice by being flexable.

    I actually wasn't aware of this myself and thought I'd need to take time off.

    Good timing too as I have an interview tomorrow!
