Goodness could they spare it lol

You'd be surprised

I'd like to add that the limit on a week's pay for redundancy pay also goes up from £350 to £380 from today. I think there are a lot of employers out there who may not be aware of this as the increase usually takes place in Feb not October.

I didn't know that! Thanks sis...
