Redundancy and Notice Pay

darrenmchugh

I really hope somebody can help with this question. I have just been told I am being made redundant. My employer says it is only going to pay me furlough rate over my three month notice period and not my contracted rate. Is this correct and can they do this?

Thanks to Jeremy who has repeatedly referenced this link in reply to similar queries.

Can they also calculate your redundancy pay on furlough?

Thank you fo this Calcotti. Some heavy reading. I guess, in summation, it says that the law while unclear would probably be weighted in favour of the employee and that notice period would should be settled at pre-furlough contracted rate? Thank you for attaching the link.

ssdkck - your statutory redundancy pay is NOT calculated at furlough rate.
