Weekly Pay Calculation for Redundancy

Dantastico

Hello everybody,


I believe the company I have worked at for the past 18 years may be no more very shortly so I am trying to work out what I may receive in redundancy payments.


I have always been a full time employee, but when I returned after Christmas (4th Jan), I was told to only go in for 3 days a week.
Does this mean that my redundancy will be worked out on those 3 days, rather than a full weeks pay? That seems rather cheeky to me.
Hopefully somebody will be able to help.


Thank you.


Dan.

What reason were you given for the reduced hours, and I assume that you agreed them? Without knowing the details, it's impossible to tell you.

Hi there.


I didn't really get given an option...they said there wouldn't be enough money to pay everyone their full-time weekly wage, so management were given a pay cut and the others were put to 3 days a week.

Are you salaried or paid by the hour?

Dantastico

I am paid by the hour.

And how many hours are you contracted to do per week/month/year?

Dantastico

Well I have always worked 37.5 hours per week (before overtime) prior to Christmas, but they said to us Jan-Mar will only be 3 days (equivalent to 22.5) and then we'd be back to 37.5 as of April.


I suppose I should ask them for a copy of my contract when I'm back in on Monday.


Thanks,


Dan.

Definitely. You could be on zero hours?!

Dantastico

Which would mean if they asked me not to come in for the rest of Feb, then I would receive no redundancy?

- presumably there wont be redundancy come April?

Dantastico

I believe the decision will be made next week to whether they continue or not, so very unlikely.
