Redundancy questions

[recyclingtruck]

Can anyone with employment law experience please help me to calculate what my final pay should be following redundancy please?
My notice was given on 14/11/25 (this was my last day of work) and my last day of gardening leave was 12/12/25.
I had 10 days of holiday left which were included as part of my gardening leave.
My salary was £24,100.
I can’t seem to find any answers online. Thank you

Have you spoken payroll/HR at your ex employer?

Nobody will be able to tell you without knowing your company’s redundancy policy, your length of service and your contract details. The company should provide you with this when your redundancy is confirmed

Were you entitled to any payout beyond notice? You should have been told in advance what this would be if so.

I was there less than 2 years and wasn’t entitled to any pay out. I think they may have paid me incorrectly so am trying to work out what I should have been paid for the notice period. Thank you.

If you agreed to 10 days being paid as holiday you are probably only entitled to a month’s pay.

Is it the notice period or the holiday?

If it’s holiday check if they have calculated it as £24,100/12 months /31 days x 10 days = £647.85 or £24,100/260 days x 10 days = £926.93.

It may help if you explain how/why you feel you've been paid incorrectly.

You say that your remaining annual leave was taken as part of your notice period, so nothing was owed to or by you in that regard. You say that you did not qualify for a redundancy payment.

So unless there are other variables at play, all you should have been paid for your notice period was your usual salary, up to and including the final day of your employment, which you say was Dec 12.

What is your contractual notice period, and how much notice did they agree to pay you?

From what you’ve said, you should’ve paid as normal to 12 December. You aren’t entitled to any unused holiday as that was deemed to be used up when you were on garden leave and you weren’t entitled to any redundancy payment. Assuming you’re paid monthly then you should have received a bit less than half your normal salary in December.

When did your employment start? Are you saying they made you take annual leave during your gardening leave?

Read your updates. No redundancy pay and they'd only pay you up until your end date.
How much did tgey pay you and why do you think k uts incorrect?

Hi all, thanks for your help with this. This is what they paid me below but from my calculations, it’s a day short. I could be wrong.

“Green is the amount up until the last day you were working. PILON, which is pay in leu of notice is equivalent of 4 weeks of the notice period you have been given. Up to your last day, you worked 9 days which was calculated per day rather than per week, therefore you received £834.23 based on your daily rate of £92.69. PILON is calculated as per week, which is £463.46 which is total of £1853.84 and that brings a total last pay of £2688.07 gross.”

I’ve attached an image which is being reviewed

If you were paid in lieu of your notice then you weren’t on gardening leave.

How many days in November did you work?

And were you paid your full salary in November and just part of your salary in December?

What was your contractual notice period?

Sorry for all the questions but can’t advise without the detail.

It looks correct to me. From 1/11/2025 to 13/11/2025 there are only 9 working days + 4 weeks (20 days) totals 29 days x £92.69 = £2,688.01.
Where do you think there is a missing day?

Edited to say, just reread your op and realised you saying you worked 14/11/2025 so it should be 10 days + 4 weeks. If that is the case I agree.

@FWSsupporterI worked on the 14/11/25 and was then on notice period.

@PinkFrogssmy last day of work in November was 14th.
I received one final salary payment at the end of November which covered both November and December until 12/12/25.
My contractual notice period was 4 weeks.
Don’t apologise for questions - appreciate your help!

I think you need to clarify with them whether you were paid in lieu of your notice period, or if you were on gardening leave/annual leave. There are pay and tax implications.

Your notice period should start from the day after notice was given. So you should be paid from 01.11 - 14.11, and then either 4 weeks PILON or salary until 12.12.

@ As you worked the 14th then you are one day short. It should be 10 days.

@pinkfrogssI was paid from 01.11 - 14.11 then PILON until 12.12. I think they have paid me 1 day short

@FWSsupporterthank you

I agree they’ve paid you one day short.

I’d also question your PILOH being included in your PILON, usually they are treated separately. Did you agree to have it included, or is it in your contract? If not I would query with this your ex employer too.

Thank you @pinkfrogsscan I ask what difference it would make?

I didn’t agree to have it included but it may be in my contract. I’ll check

If it’s not included then you’ll be entitled to your 4 weeks PILON plus 10 days PILOH, so due more money (along with the pay you’re missing for one of the days you’ve worked)

PILON is a month's notice at full pay and you should have had leave on top, not included within the leave period. So 1 month + leave. Our HR tried this, got short shrift back for not knowing their employment law or the contract terms!! ACAS will confirm for free, just give them a call. Too many poor quality HR confuse gardening with PILON.

@PinkFrogss@YYURYYUCICYYUR4METhank you very much.

With regards to the holiday pay, the below two clauses are in my contract:

We shall not pay you in lieu of untaken holiday except on termination of your employment. On
termination we shall pay you in lieu of any accrued but untaken holiday for the holiday year in
which termination takes place and any untaken days permitted to be carried forward from the
preceding holiday year. The amount of the payment in lieu will be calculated according to the
formula in regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998.

You must give at least two weeks' notice of proposed holiday. No more than 10 days' holiday may be taken at any one time unless prior written consent is obtained from the Line manager or HR & Office Manager in the absence of the first. We may require you to take (or not to take) holiday on particular dates, including during garden leave or your notice period.
