Do you have a new job secured then.

Even if they made you redundant, they would have to give you 6/7 weeks notice which they may make you work (or be on the sick for)

I'm getting the impression that you think jobs are so easy to come by or you already have one to walk into.

yes i have a job which i can start asap if i wish

So why not just get on with it then, if you are able to do this job, just resign, cut your losses and work, youre obviously capable, /well enough to do this job.

Like I say, the company could just say no redundancy, hang about and get rid of you anyway.
Just becareful, sometimes all the planning in the world sometimes comes back and bites you in the bum.

theoretica

Is the company currently paying you sick pay? Above statutory sick pay? If you aren't costing them money at the moment they will be in no hurry to pay you redundancy. If they think you may resign they won't want to pay you either, and they could always reassign you to making the tea or something non-physical if they learn you are working elsewhere.

I am not sure how you could try to speed them up, possibly expressing a desire for 'closure'? How would payment in lieu of notice compare you your expected redundancy pay?

If your too sick to do the present job, how can you be well enough to do/start another job.

There are all kinds of situations where this can happen quite legitimately.

Physical injury prevents manual work but not clerical. Work related stress solved by change to less stressful job etc etc.

Well, if the OP gave complete details in the first post it would save us all a lot of time.

Perhaps if the OP could say what his 'sickness' is we could advise better.
I get the impression he/she is wanting his cake and wanting to eat it too. (and if I am honest, i really dont blame them, wouldnt we all)

You need to answer the question about enhanced sick pay/SSP.

Your tax free allowance would stay with your current employer, so you'd pay 20% tax on everything from your new employer. You'd then have to sort that out at the end if the tax year or when you fit your P45 from the other employer.

If your current employer finds out they could sue you for breach if contract (depending in the exact details).

(Assuming 7 years service)

If he was made redundant he would get 7 weeks notice pay(even if still sick) as well as the redundancy based on the service.

If he resigned his notice may well be less than the statutory employer 7 weeks

At the end of the day is it wait or just accept the need to move on now.

If you have a fit note for lighter duties and they have failed to find you any then you may be able to look at being considered laid off, this has rules about not being given work for a period and being able to persues a redundancy claim.

I would ask why the processing of the redundancy is taking so long?
thye may just be waiting to do them all together (I would)
Ask can you come back on lighter duries till it is sorted.

Anotehr option is to try to get them to put you on redundancy notice(no so the notice clock starts) while they sort it out, then you could counter notice and get out early and still keep the redundancy.

Then that's enhanced! Legally your employer only has to pay you SSP. They could rightly take action against you for taking another job without resigning.

I had some sympathy for you before this. You're wanting full pay from 2 employers plus a redundancy package? Unbelievable.
