[Closed] Question about redundancy

From when you started working with the company

...however, your terms could change if its a promotion. I moved from a contract offering 3 weeks pay for each year employed to one offering 2. I didnt get a 50% pay rise so would be much worse off in the event of redundancy.

If you don't change company then from the start of your employment. Be careful if your new job is technically with a differently entity/company within the same group. When I took a new job abroad I got it written into my contract that "continuity of service" ran from my original start date for exactly the reason stated above plus other employment law protections

If your employer goes bust then you havent lost your job through redundancy and you probably wont be liable for a redundancy payout.

What edward2000 said.

I moved into a new role at a previous employer and was subsequently made redundant after 9 months. My 14 years of previous service still counted.

If my employer went bust, would my redundancy payout be calculated from when I began with this employer or from when I started the new role?

You would get the redundancy pay from the government redundancy office, and its not a lot.

£480 per week for each week worked

1.5 weeks per year after 42

Capped at 20 weeks iirc

You would get the redundancy pay from the government redundancy office,

Only if/when your ex-employer is officially wound up. I have an ex-colleague who wound up his former employer himself so he could then get statutory redundancy pay, was a fair bit of work apparently.
