Employees with two or more years' service are entitled to statutory redundancy pay, worked out from their age, length of service (up to 20 years) and weekly pay, with the weekly amount capped at a figure the Government updates each April. Getting the process right, genuine redundancy, fair selection and proper consultation, matters as much as the payment itself.
You can choose to offer more than the statutory minimum, often as part of a settlement agreement, in return for a cleaner, agreed exit.
