    Reading back on it all I think (with your fantastic assistance) I have the figures now. I went back on an old WhatsApp message I sent the employee (at the very start of this whole issue) and here are the bones of that message.

    Hi Mr X

    Here is the settlement figure.
    4 weeks pay as discussed at £360 per week = £1440

    5 1/2 days unpaid holiday = £396

    That totals £1836. There is no obligation to make any good will payment but I will make the amount up to £2,000 as I am ken to resolve this amicably.

    ——————————————————-

    Therefore, I think it’s pretty clear it is as follows:

    1.£720 2 weeks notice(taxable through payroll)
    2.£395 5.5 days holiday(taxable through payroll)
    3 £720 2 weeks redundancy(tax free)
    4 £164 Go away quietly money(tax free)

    Would you agree?
