Redundancy calculation and years service

Ok this is good news.

As above and as confirmed via a conversation last month with my employment lawyer, your statutory notice must be considered in terms of length of service.

An employer cannot use PILON to contract out of this. In your case your length of service will run until 6 weeks from the 6th August as you accrue an extra weeks notice from the 5 weeks notice you had by rights on the 6th August (if that makes sense?).


As such your redundancy pay must be based on 6 years service NOT 5 .

In addition you should be entitled to 6 and not 5 weeks notice.

You should raise this immediately with your employer. If they do not agree then a call to Acas should put them right.

Good luck

Are you sure about the notice. (agree with the service for redundancy)

Previous discussions came to the conclusion that the notice applies from the date of actualy giving it and not the end of the notice.

Notice runs from the time it is given. The amount to be given is that which applies at the time it is given.

The notice period would take the OP past 6 year anniversary - so 6 years' worth of redundancy pay but not pay for an extra week.

Thanks LV (and GM4L)

I was 100% sure on the redundancy but admittedly was less so on the notice - cheers for clarifying the point.

Either way OP - you need to get them to look at this asap
