Hi
I was made redundant on 28th June out of the blue as the company has been put into administration.
I was due to be paid but have been told to apply for my owed salary from the Government along with my redundancy entitlement.
I am due 1 month notice in lieu as been there 4 years along with 4 weeks redundancy pay I believe.
Can anyone advise if I will only be paid basic pay as I always do overtime each month and July's rota had already been agreed with 6 days overtime planned.
Also my holiday year runs from April 1st will this continue to run until the end of my lieu notice period 28th July (i.e my holiday entitlement) or up until 28th June the day I was made redundant.
Look forward to receiving any advice.
Thanks

[STRIKE]I cant see you getting any holiday paid nor the overtime.[/STRIKE] based on post by antrobus.
I can see just the basic pay being paid out.
Have you checked they are in administration ?

Holiday pay will be paid;
Holiday pay
You can get paid for:
holiday days owed that you did not take (‘holiday pay accrued’)
holiday days you took but were not paid for (‘holiday pay taken’)
You’re only paid for holidays you took or accrued in the 12 months before your employer became insolvent.
You’ll only get payments for up to 6 weeks of holiday days. Holiday pay is capped at £525 per week (£508 per week if your employer went insolvent before 6 April 2019).

You can't be paid for future overtime that you will not work.0 -
Update, I have found out today that the company has not been put into administration and won’t be until 24th July when we will receive a letter detailing the reference number required to claim our redundancy.
Acas can’t advise if my lieu notice will start from 24th July or I am in lieu of notice now as we have had no contact from employer apart from close your shop down. Confused as to if I am now on unpaid leave or will be able to claim for wages from 28th June up until 24th July when we enter administration and my lieu notice starts.0
