There is a limit on the amount of a week’s pay that can be taken into account in working out entitlement. The limit changes annually in line with the Retail Prices Index, from 1 February 2005 the limit is £280.

 

For employees aged between 64 and 65, the amount due is reduced by one-twelfth for every complete month over 64.

 

The table below refers to the number of weeks redundancy pay due.  A maximum of 20 years service counts.
