    Surely depends on your specific terms of employment?

    Where I am it is one week = one year so you would only be getting 26 weeks worth here, unless you had agreed something specific.

    Statutory redundancy entitlement is based on "each full year of service", part years don't count. The terms of your employment contract should define how your deal's payments are determined.

    Each LA has their own arrangements, so you need details of the scheme. Some produce a table which gives the weeks paid based on age and years of service.
