A Company has rang us (the agent) to let us know that everyone will be being made redundant as from 5th December.
I have ran their last pay and holiday pay in sage payroll and I am in the process of issuing them with a P45 but what I want to ask is how do I just work out how much redundancy pay everyone is due via the online calculator and do I have to run this payment through the payroll system?
Sorry that wasn't written very well. Ignore the first post. My new question is when someone is given notice of redundancy but they haven't worked for them for 2 years are they due anything else other than their pay for the days worked and holiday pay? They don't get any extra payments of anything do they?
No unless there is something in their contract of employment that offers enhanced redundancy anyone who hasn't worked for the company for two years is not entitled to statutory redundancy.
The employee has now rang me saying that management have said that she can take 4 weeks notice pay aswell as her normal pay as she was only given 1 weeks notice (it says on her contract that she would be given 4 weeks notice). I have never heard of this before and would expect that they mean the normal pay she is due rather than an extra payment.
Would I need to get confirmation of this agreement from management? Also, as its a charity and they have now lost their funding from the lottery I take it that any money left over from their funding would not be for redundancy pay but rather what they had originally budgeted?
Do we as an agent need to ensure we have all confirmation of this before we process their payroll?
I would get confirmation from the Management/HR department, I wouldn't take the employees word for it, I not saying they are lying but its not up to them to give you that information, yes they might well have read their contract, but confirmation from higher up needs to be sought.
