How statutory redundancy pay works
Statutory redundancy pay is the legal minimum an employer must pay an employee who is made redundant after at least two years of continuous service. The amount depends on the employee's age, length of service, and weekly pay.
The calculation uses a week's pay multiplier based on age:
- Half a week's pay for each full year of service under age 22
- One week's pay for each full year of service aged 22 to 40
- One and a half week's pay for each full year of service aged 41 or over
Weekly pay is capped at £700 and the maximum length of service counted is 20 years. This means the maximum statutory redundancy pay is £21,000.
Small businesses and redundancy: If you're considering redundancies in a business with 1–10 employees, the process can feel daunting. You need to follow a fair procedure, consult properly, and calculate pay correctly — getting it wrong can lead to unfair dismissal claims at an employment tribunal.
