AMR67 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 As your husband is over 41 he is entitled to 1.5 weeks pay for every year he's worked there. He's also entitled to one weeks notice for every year he's worked there. If the company cannot afford to pay the entitlement then the government pay. It takes about 8 weeks to sort out if the govenment pay out. Beware though, If the government pays and your husband registers for any benefits after he's made redundant ie. JSA or similar, whatever benefits are received will be deducted from your husbands redundancy payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manlinose Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 just to clarify the previous post - the maximum the redundancy payments office will pay is capped at £450 a week for each claim the payment in lieu of notice is paid to a maximum of 12 weeks holiday pay is a maximum of 6 weeks the redundancy payments office will deduct tax and NI from any payments made (except redundancy if the payment is less than (i think) £30,000) they will not deduct any benefits from the redundancy pay, but they will deduct it from the payment to cover the notice pay he would have been entitled to - they will deduct it whether or not your husband actually claimed it so please make sure he claims everything he is entitled to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaw Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I know how you must be feeling I had a stroke just over a year when I became disabled and we now live on my wifes wage and my small amout of DLA. Not looking forward to her getting nearer retirement. As for claiming disability get in touch with Age uk and they could help you. It took 4 attempts but Richard at Rotherham helped me and finally got it. I was in the same state as your husband but at 63 years but kept looking just for interested but nothing was or is for somone now at 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Can't claim to know much about redundancy claims and this is maybe slightly off-topic but one thing I'd urge is for anybody approaching retirement age to get their financial situation assessed. The reason I say this is I watched my mum and dad tie themselves in knots and suffer considerable worry because they just didn't have their finances in good shape when they retired. Things went downhill afterwards as they tried to manage the situation on a reduced income. They'd always hidden their financial affairs from everybody and only after they'd been retired did it start to become obvious how worried they were about something and we eventually got the truth out of them. We did loads to help them get payments reduced and deferred, to get them operating on a budget. I think for my mum though the worrying had done her in. She didn't enjoy much time after hitting 65. She passed away. I'm sorry it's a bit of a grim thing to recount but please don't go into retirement with your finances out of control. Get help before. There is loads out there and banks can actually turn out to be pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Uppers Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I've heard of a similar situation at a company we deal with - wonder if it's the same one? Quite a large company & I always thought they did well but the workforce at the minute are apparently sat twiddling their thumbs not knowing where/when the next bit of work will come from - if at all. Very sad situation for all involved. Hope you get something sorted thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
