redundancy for a director/general manager

[crabbers]

I am a minority shareholder and director of a small company which is failing. My job description is general manager and I am on the payroll and earn a monthly salary from the company. If the company closes its doors and ceases trading its losses are guaranteed to the bank by a multilateral guarantee by its parent company. So would I be entitled to redundancy payments as a director before or after we ceased trading. Also if redundancy is due after the company has ceased trading is this normal company redundancy or state redundancy?

Unless you know otherwise, you have a contract of employment with the organisation and therefore qualify for redundancy payments, provided you satisfy the qualification criteria on length of service.
