A practical route page for people who have moved beyond “how much redundancy pay?” and now need to work out what to check next.
The main checks after a redundancy offer or redundancy process starts: consultation, notice, redundancy pay, final pay, and any settlement-package angle.
Detailed legal advice on whether a dismissal is fair in your exact circumstances, or every tribunal route.
Acas says consultation is a key part of a redundancy process. If you have only just been told redundancy is possible, you may still be in the consultation stage rather than at the final payment stage.
If the process is moving forward, use the notice calculator to work out the statutory minimum and compare that with any longer contractual notice.
Use the redundancy calculator to get the statutory baseline first, then compare that against any enhanced contractual redundancy terms.
Redundancy pay is not the whole package. Notice pay, holiday owed, wages, and PILON may still need separate checking.
If the employer is offering a package that looks more like a negotiated settlement, use the settlement checker instead of treating everything as redundancy pay.
Used for the practical point that consultation is a key stage in the redundancy process.
Used for the statutory redundancy baseline route and the key rule structure.
Used for the practical point that final pay can include multiple elements beyond redundancy pay alone.
