How to calculate redundancy pay
Redundancy pay is worked out on the basis of age, weekly pay and length of service (employees must have worked for you continuously for 2 years or more to qualify). They will be entitled to:
However, pay is capped at £538 (£525 in Northern Ireland) per week and length of service is capped at 20 years.
The maximum amount of statutory redundancy pay an employee can receive is £16,140 (£16,800 in Northern Ireland).
Years of service or earnings over these amounts should not be included in the calculation.
Additional redundancy pay
As an employer, you can decide to offer redundancy pay over and above the statutory requirement. You can also choose to shorten the qualifying period to less than two years. This information should all be written into the employment contract. Redundancy pay up to £30,000 is tax-free.
