Stautory Redundancy Pay

I have just been made redundant, and have worked for my company for two years. I am entitled to £660 for two years service.
That is statutory redundancy pay.

You would only get the Full Amont if £330 if you earned that or above, if you earned say £250 a week you would get 2 x £250. £330 is the Max they will pay, which is a bit off if you earn £500 a week !!!

..and if you were full time for a number of years then went part time after having a baby (same department, similar role), should redundancy include those earlier full time years in any calculation?

My wife is in this situation. She was told earlier this week that redunancy is on the cards for her. She's been with her company for 20 years, 15 of those years were full-time, but the last 5 have been part-time since having our kids.

Your redunancy will be calculated on the pay that you're getting on the day that redunancy notice is given as far as I understand... unless of course you work for a very nice company that goes above and beyond the statutory requirements.

Redundancy pay is calculated on the worker's weekly salary at the time of redundancy, subject to the maximum amount, unless s/he has been made redundant while off sick, laid off or on short time working.
If an employee working full time, voluntarily changed to part-time working and was then made redundant, her/his redundancy pay would be calculated on her/his (reduced) part-time weekly salary.
