Hopefully most people will face a working life without interruption but there are some who may find their employment coming to an abrupt end when their employer faces a difficult financial period either within the business itself or in the wider economy.  It may be that they will then need to cut costs, close a business or let employees go – this is called redundancy.

If this happens to you it can be an uncertain time causing a great deal of concern about finding a new job and your finances. To help ease some of that worry the government has put in place a scheme for statutory redundancy pay. Some employers may pay a greater amount than is required by the statute but the statutory redundancy framework ensures that every employee who is made redundant will receive a minimum amount of financial compensation.

Our calculator can help you work out what you are required to receive as a minimum if you are faced with redundancy and our team of employment solicitors are on hand should you need us.
