Check redundancy, final pay, notice, holiday and settlement — and start with the right page

WorkRightsUK helps you check the common money and leaving-work questions people usually need answered first — redundancy pay, final pay, notice, holiday entitlement, settlement tax treatment and a small number of related family-rights checks.

Not sure where to start? Use the compare page for mixed situations or the final-pay page if the last payslip, notice, holiday and deductions are tangled together.

What this site covers

Redundancy pay, notice periods, statutory holiday, final-pay basics, settlement-package tax categories, and a small number of closely related family-rights topics.

What this site does not cover

It is not a full employment-law portal, not personalised legal advice, and not a replacement for specialist advice where the facts or sums are disputed.

What the page checks tell you

The strongest pages show when they were checked, which official sources were used, and when you should stop and recheck the linked source.

Focused, source-backed, and built to get you to the right first page quickly.

Fastest way to start

Pick the immediate problem before you judge the whole package

  1. Start with final pay if the first question is what should be on the payslip or in the last payment.
  2. Start with redundancy if you want the statutory floor before comparing it with the offer.
  3. Start with settlement if the package mixes payroll-style pay with compensation-style lines.
Common mixed situation

One offer can contain several different lines

A single leaving package can include redundancy, notice or PILON, unused holiday, wages already owed and an extra settlement-style amount. WorkRightsUK works best when you split those lines first and then open the right page for each part.

Choose the quickest route for your question

These are the fastest first routes for the questions people usually arrive with.

I want the statutory redundancy baseline first

Best when you want the statutory minimum first before comparing it with notice, holiday, PILON or any extra package lines.

Go to redundancy calculator

I need to check the last payslip or final pay

Best when the immediate issue is what should appear in the last payslip, including notice pay, unused holiday, deductions or PILON.

Go to final pay calculator

I have a leaving package or settlement offer

Best when you need to split one headline offer into payroll-style items, compensation-style items and questions to verify in writing.

Go to settlement checker

I think dismissal itself may be the real issue

Best when redundancy is probably not the real issue and you need a rough compensation framework, qualification check and next-step route.
