can anyone tell me redundancy money entitlements, e.g is is 1 months wage for every year you have worked? (I have been ehere just over 3 yrs now) our company havent told us yet and dont seem to be in any rush to either!

my symapthies are with you, I've just gone through the same sh!t and I quote from my letter of redundancy;
"Statutory

[Chillum]

don't know what happened there....

"statutory redundancy payments are calculated on the basis of a "normal" week's pay subject to a maximum of �280 per week, and takes account of your age and number of full year's service withh the company.
Number of years worked -5
Age 41
Therefor number of weeks to which you are entitled is -5

Not good. Thankfully I also had an enhanced redundancy package, but this entirely at the discretion of your ex-employer.

I am interested in this as there is a possibility that I could be made redundant in March and by then I will have been there 3 years.

Chillum - am I reading your answer correctly, how can anyone be entitled to -5 weeks redundancy?? Surely in my case that would me I owed them money!

Apologies if I am being an idiot and not reading it properly!

Just found a site - apparently I am entitled to �840 which is 3 weeks pay at the maximum of �280 per week (I earn more than this). See here for a calculator.
