Redundancy guide · Great Britain
Who qualifies for statutory redundancy pay?
You usually need employee status and at least two years of continuous employment. The reason for dismissal and how you respond to an alternative job offer can affect entitlement.
Gather the details
Check your contract, start date and dismissal letter. If your employer changed during your employment or you had a break in service, ask how it assessed continuity. Keep copies of any alternative job offers and your response.
