Anyone know how redundancy would work in this instance

[Singadream]

I have been in my job for 15 years - the first 13 of these were working four days a week and the last two years have been working two days a week, and I have also had three maternity leaves and a year of unpaid leave during this time (the unpaid leave following on from my third maternity leave, the unpaid part ending a year ago).

They are now offering voluntary redundancy across the organisation - you can in theory as for a calculation from HR as to what you would be offered but I don't trust HR or my Head of Department so don;t want to ask them this question.

But would my offer be calculated taking into account the years I worked four days a week or would it solely reflect the current two day a week situation - that is, redundancy pay is a certain multiplication of your monthly salary, but my monthly salary now is vastly reduced compared to what it was for the first 13 years of my job.

Thanks

It's based on your current salary. There is a statutory redundancy calculator here www.gov.uk/calculate-your-redundancy-pay/y

It goes of age and wages so under 22 when started 1/2 a weeks wage per year over 22 a weeks wage per year over 40 something sorry cant remember 1 1/2 weeks per year at current wage x number of full years hope that helps

You work 2 days a week
That's what it will be based on (as far as I know)

Ask your hr dept for a figure

Current. Think of it as compensation for losing the salary you would otherwise have earned. If it were based on, say average salary over the time you’d been employed that would mean people who’d progressed up the company would have their redundancy reduced because they (eg) started in the mailroom on minimum wage.

Think of it as replacement for lost earnings.

Thanks that is helpful
