    Thanks Cat but that one doesnt cover notice pay and is it the same amount if the employer cant pay?

    Thats the statutary minimum that must be paid.
    ie that would be paid by goverment fund.

    Hi Louise,

    Cat's calculator will give you his redundancy entitlement which he can claim from the state if his employer does not pay.

    For notice pay look to see what his contract entitles him to. The maximum statutory notice period for his long service would be 12 weeks - see http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/RedundancyAndLeavingYourJob/Resigningorretiring/DG_175837 and scroll down to notice your employer must give you.

    Insolvent employer info is at http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/Pay/DG_10026695

    Looks like he should be able to claim the redundancy and notice pay from the state funds if the employer cannot pay.

    Good luck with it.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Just seen a job that would almost tempt me back into PR at a salary of 41k! Sadly it needs someone who has a strong financial product media background. I'm guessing it is working for LV (Liverpool Victoria).

    Now if that had been a strong chocolate product media background :D

    I demand that you apply anyway.....if you dont ask you dont get:D

    Nah. To be honest, I can't think of a more dull area to work in media wise - Life Insurance and Pensions.........yawwwnn....it would all be strategic, technical, naval gazing stuff. Not me I'm afraid, not even for that money.

  • Lou - as a very rough guide, my ex got 11.5k redundancy. That was for 17 years at the minimum allowed redundancy package and he was 44 and it included 12 weeks notice. The split was about 6k and 5.5k between the pay off and the redundancy money.
