Redundancy Payment Question

[janzman]

Apologies if this is in the wrong category but here I go..

A friend of mine (71 years of age) has worked for the same employer for 19 years, 15 of those years as full time, the last 4 as semi retired and down to 2 days a week. In the Spring on 2021 he will be made redundant. His very real concern is will his redundancy payment be based on his current pay of just 2 days a week or will his previous 15 years pay for full time employment be taken into account in the calculation of his final payment.
On his behalf I've looked on Government and Accas websites but I have been unable to find the answer.
Many thanks for any help with this one.

It looks from this that it will be the part time pay.

i was made redundant 2 years ago. The payment total was based on my last 3 months' pay

It is compensation for lost future earnings so it would indeed be based on 2 days a week but the calculation should take account of all the 20 years' service. I'm assuming you do mean Spring 2012- but that's a lot of notice.. Any chance he could increase his hours a bit before then?

Typo- I meant to type 2021 as you did rather than 2012

I'm sorry not to have got back to you before now but thanks very much for all this valuable information. I'll pass it on. ff unfortunately there is no chance of increasing his hours.
