Family rights
Employment rights help pages
Start here when you already have a figure, a payslip or an offer in front of you and the real question is what to check next.
This is the best section for follow-up checks and next-step order.
Use these pages when the number is only the start and you need a clearer sequence in plain English.
Final pay and leaving a job
Best starting page when the immediate problem is the last payslip, mixed deductions, notice, holiday owed, PILON, or one leaving-work total that needs splitting into clear lines before anything else. Use this first before you judge the whole package.
What to do next after a redundancy offer
Use this when the offer has arrived and you want the checks in a sensible order.
What to check before relying on a settlement package figure
Use this before treating one total as meaningful, especially if wages, PILON, holiday and compensation may all be mixed together.
What to do next if you may not qualify for SMP or SPP
Use this if the main issue is eligibility, timing, or whether a different family-rights route fits better.
