redundancy pay

Penguin123

I have been told that i will be made redundant before the end of March .
I work 18 hours per week and get paid a basic rate for 16 hours . I get an enhanced rate for two hours as they are weekend hours . will my redundancy be based on the basic rate plus the enhanced rate ?
the leaflets i have been given from HR are not clear as they only talk about full time equivalent salary.
i don't have the option of not working the enhanced hours and the enhancement is written int the terms of employment .

Many thanks for any help

Hello, horribly confusing, isn't it.

Try this redundancy calculator from business link http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/layer?topicId=1079123792

I expect others will help more. It's a bit of a quiet time at night on here, but bump your post up in the morning when more users are about.

From what I understand, if it forms part of your normal weekly pay it is included.

Your post suggests that you are contracted to the pay for 16 hours plus the 2 at a special rate and that you have been on this for some time. Any redundancy payment should be based on the total weekly amount (subject to the capping of £380).

The cap increases to £400 on 1 February - but the OP would need to be earning about £20/hour to be earning that much a week. If actual pay is less than £400/week then it is the actual weekly pay that is used in the calculation.
