what happens to SMP if company I work for no longer exists?

[staryeyed]

At about the time when I will be due to go on ML the company I work for may not exist any more as we may not get funding to continue running. If this happens do I still get SMP and how does that work?

not sure of exactly how it works but a colleague of mine was on ML when we were all made redundant and the company went into Liquidation, she received her SMP from the Government.

Have a look here about insolvent companies. If your employer says it doesn't have enough money to pay you, then you will be able to claim it from HMRC.

thanks that's put my mind at rest.
