Furlough

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).
Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0 -
When you signed how long was it for? what was the criteria for your pay going back to normal?

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 companymart123 said:The company I work for are forcing all staff to take holidays before end of thurlough in October even the thurloughed staff are being pressurised to my understanding since change of rules from July 3?
