Redundancy & Length of Service

I have been working for the same company for the last 40years (35years full time job and last 5years at reduced hours) - length of service was continued when my hours were reduced. I am at risk of being made redundant and have been told that my reduncacy package will be based on my reduced hours and no consideration will be taken into account about my 35yr service at full time - is this correct? Where do I stand?

Where I work redundancy packages or enchanced ones ( will be a thing of the past I think soon) are based on your last 2 years. Your union should be able to confirm this for you though1

It may well be correct.
Your employer staff handbook/HR policies will have the full details on how redundancy is calculated.

For the statutory redundancy scheme, all of your service time (full-time and part-time) will be used to calculate your length of service. The amount of a week's pay will be at your current rate (with the statutory maximum weekly amount).1 -

For statutory redundancy payments, an employee needs a minimum of two years' service at the time of termination.
If a contractual enhanced scheme wishes to adjust the amount paid by looking over two years, they can do so (as long as the statutory amount is paid).
A Union would only be able to advise on a company's scheme if they had received such information from the employer.0 -
Unless your contract says anything differently you are now a part time worker so you get redundancy at your current part time rate for the entire length of service.1
