Just under 2 years employment & about to be made redundant

I read to get any redundancy pay, you have to be with the company for 2 years, the its a weeks wage (max £380) for every years service.
I've just been told today I will find out in 48 hours if I am to be made redundant (Im 100% I will be
).
I have been with the company for JUST under 2 years. I have to work 4 weeks notice, this 4 weeks from now will take me over 2 years service - does this count or is the 2 years up until you are told of redundancies?
I hope I've made myself clear?
Thanks

It is counted until the date you actually leave the company (not the date you are served with your redundancy notice) so you'll be OK with regard to receiving redundancy money.0

Thanks. Thats what I was hoping to hear, you're sure thats right?
So I should get £760...0 -
That was lucky for you,
Had you only needed to work a weeks notice you would have lost the lot.
Good luck - if you need it, (i'm sure you would really keep your job so fingers crossed for that also)
let us know how you get on.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
