If an employee (41+) has been with a company 15 years, do they get 15 years redundacy pay = 1.5 weeks pay for every years service, or is it capped at 12 weeks?
COE is 4 weeks, employee has now been given notice, although the employer has requested the employee remains working for the company until final day i.e , in 4 weeks time, therefore, will there be any PILON?
Also, the company will only pay whats's statutory:(
You are getting the cap for redundancy payments and notice periods muddled.
Statutory redundancy payment is capped at 20 years service
https://www.gov.uk/redundant-your-rights/redundancy-pay
Also note that the payment of one and half weeks per year served is only for full years where the employee is aged 41 or over - so won't apply to someone aged 41 now. And it i only for those years served when the employee was over 41 - for any where they were under 41 the statutory entitlement is a week for each year served.
Statutory notice period is capped at 12 weeks.

So a 41 year old employee with 15 years service who is given four weeks notice is also entitled to eight weeks PILON, as well as 15 weeks redundancy pay.0 -
Cheers, I think I've got it,
Post 41 years = 11 years at 1.5 weeks redunancy pay
Pre 41 years = 1 week pay for evey years service.
In addition to redundancy pay above, + 8 weeks at PILON.I'm hopeless with technology, in addition, I suffer with MH issues, what may appear simple, I struggle with, may I ask, please be patient, thank you0 -

That doesn't add up - in your initial post (#9) you said that the person had 15 years service, you now suggest it's only 12 ?
And you now imply that the emplyee was aged 40 when they started the employment - is that correct?0 -

Hi sticks
sorry for the confusion
they started aged 37, now 52 years old, been with employer 15 years
I assume they don't get 15 years redundancy pay only 12 as a maximumI'm hopeless with technology, in addition, I suffer with MH issues, what may appear simple, I struggle with, may I ask, please be patient, thank you0 -

Pay for some proper legal advice.
You are not getting the basics on redundancy or notice.0 -

My bad:o I was confusing 12 weeks notice equal to redundancy years,
On Google
Redundancy notice periods
If your employer has selected you for redundancy you must be given a notice period before your employment ends. The statutory redundancy notice periods are:
at least one week’s notice if you have been employed between one month and two years
one week’s notice for each year if employed between two and 12 years
12 weeks’ notice if employed for 12 years or moreI'm hopeless with technology, in addition, I suffer with MH issues, what may appear simple, I struggle with, may I ask, please be patient, thank you0
