Calculate statutory redundancy pay where the redundant employee has moved from full-time to part-time hours
Key points
A redundancy payment is based on "a week's pay" and takes into account the employee's age and the number of years of employment.
The meaning of "a week's pay", and how it is calculated, is set out in the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Where an employee moves from full-time to part-time hours, with a concomitant reduction in pay, this will impact on the amount of "a week's pay" for the purposes of the redundancy calculation.
