Working for same company after redundancy

6 replies

I am due to be made redundant with pay from one of my two roles within the same company. I have been told that I can't take any new shifts or overtime for a period of 12 weeks on my remaining role due to tax implications. The roles/contracts are completely different and separate, is this correct?

Would it be because it might mean you have to pay tax on any redundancy payment your receive?

I know that my employer will let you reapply for positions within the organisation after being made redundant, but you cannot return within a certain time period of you would have to pay back your redundancy pay.

Yes unless you want to pay tax on your redundancy pay.
I thought it was 6 months but it must be 3. Google it - the gov website is usually pretty clear on these things.

I can't find anything online. It just seems odd when it's a separate role which I will be continuing to do.

In my company, you cannot perform ANY role, even as a contractor, for 6 months after being made redundant. I think it’s a) tax implications on your redundancy payment, and in our case b) the unions get really narky as they try to argue we shouldn’t have made someone redundant in the first place if there is still work to do!
Appreciate you have two distinct/separate jobs in the same organisation.
