1 Day Short of 6 Years

Hi All,

My cousin has been made redundant, however he is being paid 5 weeks pay instead of 6 as he has been employed for the company 1 day short of 6 years. Is there anything at all that can be done to get 6 weeks pay?

Thanks in advance.

Can notice period help here, if he is given a notice period perhaps that has to be taken into account and will take your cousin over the 6 year period thus giving an extra weeks redundancy pay.

Notice is based on service at the day the notice is given.

Redundancy the service is the termination date or later if statutory notice from the date of notice would be later.

Just looking at his letter dated today, he joined the company on April 02nd 2007 and his exit date is 29 March 2013 but the proposed redundancy will take effect from 3rd May 2013 which incorporates a notice period of 5 weeks which he is not required to work.

Needs to be clear if they are saying garden leave or PILON and when the termination date is for signing on

If garden leave still employed so has to be carefull going away or accepting other work.

In that case he should receive 6 weeks redundancy pay, as the relevant date is the end of the statutory notice period (regardless of whether it is worked, or paid in lieu)

However he is only entitled to 5 weeks notice pay, as the relevant date is when notice was given.
