I am a woman over 60. Am I entitled to redundancy payment?

You are treated the same as a man and you can claim a redundancy payment until you are 65, unless the company policy is for retirement, for both men and women, at an earlier age.

Question Author
would it make a difference if they were in receipt of stae pension
Not 100% sure but I don't think so - the employer has no official way of knowing whether she is claiming her state pension or not, so it shouldn't be an issue..
dzug - the employer would be very aware because the tax code is different.
He can guess from the tax code but there could be many other reasons for it being non-standard so he can't know.
Not 100% sure, but surely the receipt of a pension from another source is irrelevant to whether redundancy payments are due. It is just another source of income of the employee. Redundancy payments are part of a statutory right under various Employment Laws, if one meets the rest of the qualifying criteria.????
