Redundancy payment

[bald eagle]

I would like clarification please on the following point.

I understand if you are made redundant you are only entitled to redundancy pay if you have been employed by the company for more than 2 years.
Am I correct in saying that if you have been employed for less than this timeframe, the company can make a payment to you as a goodwill gesture, but they are not legally obliged to do so?

Appreciate any further information, please

Thank you
Kind regards

That is correct.

The company always also needs to either pay you for your notice period, or require you to work out the notice period (this is always a requirement in any dismissal situation, apart from summary dismissal)
