stat. notice period and qualifying redundancy payment years

Thebiguglyone

Hi,
When calculating my redundancy payment, should I include my statutory notice period in the qualifying years as this would add an extra year/half a weeks pay to my total. Better in my pocket if I am entitled to it!

Thanks

i think the answer is yes unless they PILON

Thanks Googlewhacker, I am claiming PILON as the company is no more!

The same question is applicable to my holiday pay, should I claim this up to the end of my notice period?

Redundancy should include statutory notice even with PILON.

IIRC concensus has that holiday stop at date of termination.

I just found this on the Directgov website-

Working out payments

Holiday pay and wages are calculated up to the date of insolvency.
Redundancy and notice pay are worked out from either the date your employer became formally insolvent or when your employment ended - whichever is later.


This clarifies the Holiday pay issue but is still a little vague on the
redundancy qualifying years being before or after the notice period.

I will put in my claim allowing myself up to the end of the notice
period and will add the outcome once I receive confirmation.
Somebody else might appreciate this information later on.

Thanks for your input folks.

That would imply that once working for an insolvent company holiday pay stops.

For redundancy the employment act clearly states statutory notice counts maybe insolvency over rules this.
