Been made redundant

hulagirl79

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I work 4 days a week for 9 and half hours a day. With my holiday year running from January----December.

I was made redundant a week on Thursday, I have been in the job for 2 years 1 day when i was informed.
I have 4 weeks notice to work, when i asked about my redundancy pay my boss said" i didnt realise i had to pay you that"
I have gone on the direct gov site to calculate redundancy pay but the one thing that confuses me is that as of the 1st feb the rate goes up.
My last day is 3rd feb would i be Entitled to that rate or the previous one.
Also would i be entitled to holiday pay as well.

Thanks

My last day is 3rd feb would i be Entitled to that rate or the previous one. If you earn more than £10.52/hour, then you will be entitled to the £400/week. If you earn less than that, then you will be entitled to whatever your weekly pay is.
Also would i be entitled to holiday pay as well. Your holiday accrues up to the date of termination. If you didn't work on 3 January but were paid, then remember to deduct that from your entitlement.

Thanks

I think the HMRC website can help

because i am a new user it won't let me post web links

the last bullet point on the HMRC web page looks like the rate you apply is from the date you are given notice of redundancy

"a “week’s pay” is the amount due under the employment contract on the date that the minimum notice of termination was or should have been given. The minimum is 1 week per year of service up to a maximum of 12 weeks. A week’s pay cannot exceed a specified figure (£260 from 1 February 2003; £270 from 1 February 2004; £280 from 1 February 2005; £290 from 1 February 2006; £310 from 1 February 2007; £330 from 1 February 2008; £350 from 1 February 2009). This limit is normally uprated annually with effect from 1 February but this was suspended in 2010 and the minimum increased to £380 from 1 October 2010. The next uprating is expected to be from 1 February 2011)."

That's the week's pay due under the employment contract, ie the amount of a normal week's pay and, I think, is about non-statutory schemes.

It is also indicating that it is not an average over a period but whatever the pay was at a point in time.
