redundancy pay

twotribes

Hi,
Just need some help, I started a job in March 2008.

but now august 2010 have been made redundant,

but when I started I had a contract for 30 per week, £5.90 per hour, but when I was made redundant the contract hours were cut to 26.25 10 months before

but pay went up to £6.50 per hour, so what is the redundancy pay going to be based on, hours and pay ect?


Thanks

1 weeks pay for 1 whole years service, depending on your age, 1.5 weeks if you are over 41

Based on the hours you were working when being made redundant.

I have worked for my company full time for 24 years and in October went part time, if i was made redundant i would get pay on my part time hours.

and welcome to MSE by the way.:D

1 more quick question

Last november I was signed off work due to a car accident, and when was fit for work in september I was already made redundant august, does that make any difference to the amount I will receive,

while I was off I only received SSP from them for 6 months.

Thanks

Shouldnt make any difference, you were still employed by the company.
Presumably you worked 2 full years, so if you are between 21 and 41 you should receive 2 full weeks red. pay, plus notice pay, ie one week or one month, whatever is in your contract, plus any accrued holiday pay.

Hope you find a job soon...........
