Redundancy is unsettling, but you have clear rights and choices. We explain the process, timelines, consultation rules, and pay calculations, so you know what to expect, what to check in your paperwork, and how to respond calmly and confidently.
We explain statutory and contractual redundancy pay, holiday pay, and pay in lieu of notice. You’ll understand caps, qualifying service, and how age and weekly pay affect calculations. We also cover tax treatment and what to do if figures seem wrong or incomplete.
Humboldt Financial will review your paperwork, explain the process in plain English, and help you prepare fair, confident next steps.
Employers should consult, use objective selection criteria, and consider suitable alternative roles. You’re entitled to notice, redundancy pay where applicable, and time off to look for work. Documentation matters, keep letters and notes from meetings. If the process looks irregular, we’ll help you raise concerns appropriately.
Statutory pay depends on age, weekly pay (up to a cap), and years of service. Some contracts offer more generous terms. Holiday pay and unpaid overtime can be relevant. We’ll check calculations against your records and highlight any differences to resolve quickly.
You should be offered “suitable alternative employment” if available, but you can reasonably refuse if it’s unsuitable. There’s often a trial period to test the role. We’ll help you assess suitability and document decisions. The goal is fairness, not pressure.
Start by requesting the selection criteria and your scores. Keep communications polite and written. If problems remain, use the grievance process and seek guidance promptly. We’ll help you organise evidence and choose practical next steps.
