Redundancy and pilon

[Snoodleberry]

Hope someone might have a little advice for me. I was employed for nine years (would be ten years on 8th September), and then made redundant on 30th August, and had three months PILON along with my nine weeks of statutory redundancy pay.

My question is, whilst I acknowledge that being paid in lieu of notice was helpful (as I didn’t have to work it and could get on with finding a new job), the actual notice period would have taken me over into my tenth year of employment and therefore I would receive one more week of pay. Is this correct, or does the redundancy date mean even with PILON I don’t pass over into the tenth year?

Thank you for any advice.

I suspect the cut off point is the day you’re given notice though not 100% sure.

(I’m in a very similar boat but not so close to 10 years’ service so hasn’t considered this)

If the notice period takes you across the ten year mark then you should have been paid based on ten years. Not nine

Your contractual notice doesn’t matter, but the statutory minimum notice period should be taken into account when it comes to redundancy pay calculations, yes.

Thank you all for your comments. I apologise for not coming back sooner, I had a couple of interesting job prospects, which took up most of my time. not sure if anything will come of the applications, as no doubt hundreds of applicants, but good to get out there again.
