Furlough

kevSand

I am currently on furlough but expecting to be made redundant soon, I’ve been with the company for 20+ years, we signed a letter at the first furlough period accepting 80% of our pay just to try and help the company, could they use this letter and adjust my redundancy pay based on 12 years at my reduced wage of 80% or have they got to base it on my normal 100% wage before furlough

Should be on your contracted 100% wage.  What counts as your weekly wage may be capped below the actual sum you earned.

Depends on the wording of what you signed. If the 80% has become your 'new' contracted pay, then yes, they could use that for redundancy calculations. There are various caps on length of service/pay used/total statutory redundancy payable:

• length of service is capped at 20 years
• weekly pay is capped at £538 (£560 in Northern Ireland)
• maximum statutory redundancy pay is £16,140 (£16,800 in Northern Ireland).

When you signed how long was it for? what was the criteria for your pay going back to normal?

That the company claim 80% and the firm pays 20%  is this even legal  they just thurlough staff when they book a holiday any help anyone

A company can tell you when to take all your holidays, but they have to give sufficient notice.  It should be double the length, so 2 weeks notice if they want you to take 1 week.  They should top it up to 100% of your pay but it can be 80% furlough, and 20% top up from the company
